Method

Seafood Gumbo Directions

1

Prepare the Roux

In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Gradually whisk in the flour, stirring constantly until the mixture turns a dark brown color, about 15-20 minutes.

2

Sauté Vegetables

Add the diced onion, green bell pepper, and celery to the roux, and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic.

3

Add Sausage and Tomatoes

Stir in the andouille sausage and canned diced tomatoes. Cook for another 5 minutes.

4

Simmer the Broth

Pour in the chicken broth, and add bay leaves, cayenne pepper, thyme, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for 30 minutes.

5

Add Seafood

Add the shrimp, crab meat, and okra to the pot. Cook for an additional 10 minutes, or until the shrimp is cooked through.

6

Serve

Remove bay leaves before serving. Serve hot over cooked rice and garnish with sliced green onions.
