Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add flour and stir continuously for about 15-20 minutes until the roux is a dark brown color.

    Add the diced onions, bell peppers, and celery to the roux. Cook for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

    Pour in the chicken broth and diced tomatoes. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for 30 minutes.

    Add the shrimp, crab meat, and sliced okra. Simmer for an additional 10-15 minutes until the seafood is cooked through.
