Gumbo Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Base

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onions, bell pepper, and celery (the 'holy trinity' of Cajun cooking) and sauté until they are soft, about 5 minutes.

2

Add Sausage and Garlic

Stir in the sliced Andouille sausage and minced garlic. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the sausage is browned.

3

Add Remaining Ingredients

Add the diced tomatoes, sliced okra, chicken broth, Cajun seasoning, bay leaves, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.

4

Simmer the Gumbo

Reduce the heat to low and let the gumbo simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.

5

Add Shrimp

In the last 5 minutes of cooking, add the shrimp and cook until they are pink and opaque.

6

Serve

Remove bay leaves and serve the gumbo over cooked rice. Garnish with sliced green onions.
