Cook the Vegetables
Add the diced onion, bell pepper, and celery to the roux. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the vegetables soften.

Add the minced garlic, canned diced tomatoes, chicken broth, bay leaves, Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Simmer the Gumbo
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 30 minutes. Add the okra and shrimp, and continue to simmer for another 10-15 minutes until the shrimp is cooked through.
Serve
Remove the bay leaves, serve the gumbo hot over cooked rice, and garnish with chopped green onions.
