Time 20m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 cup plus 1 tablespoon butter
3/4 cup all purpose flour
1/2 chopped yellow onion
1/4 cup chopped celery
1/4 cup chopped green bell pepper
2 cloves minced garlic
1 cup sliced fresh okra
3 cups shrimp stock
2 cups bottled clam juice
1 cup canned diced tomatoes with juice
3 bay leaves
1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes
1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1 teaspoon dried basil leaves
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 1/2 cups sliced diagonally cooked smoked sausage
2 lbs cleaned and deveined shrimp
cooked for serving white rice

Steps:

  • In a large heavy saucepan, over low heat, melt 1 cup of the butter. Add the flour, and cook on low heat until the roux is dark brown; about 30 to 45 minutes, stirring constantly. *Cook's Note: Brown does not mean burnt; if you burn the roux you have to throw it out and start over again.
  • Add the onions, celery, peppers and garlic and saute until translucent.
  • Mix in the okra and the remaining ingredients, including the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter, and simmer over medium-low heat until thick, about 1 hour. Before serving, remove the bay leaves. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve over white rice, if desired.

EASY SAUSAGE AND SHRIMP GUMBO



Easy Sausage and Shrimp Gumbo image

This dish will warm your heart on a cold day. I first had this at a friend's house in Louisiana and after a few changes, shrimp instead of chicken for instance, I came up with a recipe I think you will enjoy as much as my family does. Serve over rice with additional seasoning on the side if you like it spicier, as I do. Enjoy.

BUBBA'S SHRIMP & GRITS RECIPE - (4.7/5)



Bubba's Shrimp & Grits Recipe - (4.7/5) image

Provided by mjohnmeyer

Number Of Ingredients 17

Grits:
4 tablespoons butter
2 teaspoons salt
2 cups quick cooking grits
Gravy:
1/4 cup chopped bacon
1/2 cup diced onion
2 tablespoons each, diced red and green bell peppers
1/4 cup diced leek
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1 lb uncooked medium shrimp, peeled, tails removed, and deveined
3/4 cup flour
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 quart heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Steps:

  • 1. In a medium saucepan on medium-high heat, bring 6 cups water, the butter and salt to a boil. Slowly whisk in the grits. Continue whisking occasionally for about 5 minutes, until the grits are thick and tender. Remove from the heat and keep warm. 2. Prepare the gravy; saute the bacon in a large heavy saucepan over medium-high heat until the fat is rendered. Stir in the onion, peppers, leek, and garlic and cook until soft. 3. Add the shrimp and stir to combine. Sprinkle in the flour, and stir, making sure all of the flour is well incorporated. Add the wine and cream, stirring well until the sauce has thickened. 4. In a small bowl, mix the salt, pepper, and garlic powder and season the gravy to taste. Serve the shrimp gravy over grits. navywifecook.com

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients. The fresher the ingredients, the better your gumbo will taste. If you can, use shrimp that has been caught within the last 24 hours.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot. When you add the shrimp to the pot, make sure there is enough room for them to swim around. If the pot is too crowded, the shrimp will not cook evenly.
  • Cook the shrimp just until they are opaque. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery. Cook them just until they are opaque and then remove them from the pot.
  • Make a roux. A roux is a mixture of flour and fat that is used to thicken the gumbo. It is important to cook the roux until it is dark brown. The darker the roux, the richer the flavor of the gumbo.
  • Add the holy trinity. The holy trinity is a mixture of onions, celery, and bell peppers. It is a essential ingredient in gumbo and adds a lot of flavor.
  • Use a variety of spices. Gumbo is a well-seasoned dish. Use a variety of spices, such as cayenne pepper, paprika, and garlic powder, to give it a bold flavor.
  • Let the gumbo simmer. Gumbo is a dish that is best when it is simmered for a long time. Simmer the gumbo for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours, to allow the flavors to meld.
  • Serve the gumbo over rice. Gumbo is traditionally served over rice. You can also serve it with cornbread or French bread.

Conclusion:

Bubba's Shrimp Gumbo is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a party or a weeknight meal. With its bold flavors and hearty ingredients, this gumbo is sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a new recipe to try, give Bubba's Shrimp Gumbo a try. You won't be disappointed.
