Seafood Gumbo

Method

Seafood Gumbo

  1. 1

    Prepare the Base

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, green bell pepper, and celery, and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Garlic and Sausage

    Add the minced garlic and sliced Andouille sausage to the pot. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the sausage is browned.

  3. 3

    Combine Broth and Tomatoes

    Pour in the chicken broth and add the canned diced tomatoes. Stir well to combine.

  4. 4

    Add Veggies and Seasoning

    Add the sliced okra, shrimp, crab meat, Cajun seasoning, bay leaves, salt, and black pepper. Stir to mix everything together.

  5. 5

    Simmer the Gumbo

    Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  6. 6

    Finish and Serve

    Remove the bay leaves, stir in the chopped green onions, and serve hot in bowls over rice if desired.

Sensation Salad

  1. 7

    Prepare the Vegetables

    In a large bowl, combine the chopped lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced cucumber, pepperoncini, and thinly sliced red onion.

  2. 8

    Make the Dressing

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

  3. 9

    Dress the Salad

    Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and toss well to coat all the ingredients evenly.

  4. 10

    Serve

    Serve the Sensation Salad alongside the seafood gumbo for a refreshing combo.
