Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Make the Roux

    In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Gradually whisk in the flour, stirring constantly until the mixture turns a deep brown color, about 20-30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Vegetables

    Once the roux is ready, add the chopped onion, green bell pepper, celery, and minced garlic. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

  3. 3

    Add Tomatoes and Stock

    Stir in the canned diced tomatoes, seafood stock, bay leaves, and Cajun seasoning. Bring to a simmer and let cook for 15 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add Seafood

    Add the shrimp, crab meat, and oysters to the pot. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes until the seafood is cooked through.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove bay leaves before serving. Serve the gumbo over cooked white rice and garnish with chopped green onions and parsley.
