Preparation Steps

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.

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.

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.

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.

Serve

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