Yield 1 pot, 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 1/2 cups melted butter
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups chopped onions, cut into 3/8-inch pieces
1 cup chopped green pepper, cut into 3/8-inch pieces
1 cup chopped celery, cut into 3/8-inch pieces
1 lb andouille sausage, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1/2 lb tasso smoked meat, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 tablespoon paprika
3 tablespoons emeril's bayou blast creole seasoning
2 teaspoons gumbo file, ground
1 teaspoon ground ancho chili (for extra heat) (optional)
10 cups cold chicken stock or 10 cups broth
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 bay leaves
1/2 lb shrimp, cleaned and peeled with tails removed
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Combine the melted butter and flour in a large heavy pot, stirring constantly over media heat. Cook until the roux is a dark, chocolate brown color (about 20 to 25 minutes).
  • Add the chopped onions, green peppers, celery, Andouille sausage and Tasso smoked meat. Cook, stirring continuously, until the vegetables are very soft (about 8 to 10 minutes).
  • Add the paprika, the "Emeril's Bayou Blast" and the gumbo file. If you want a spicier dish, add the Ancho pepper. Cook for about 1-2 minutes.
  • Add the cold chicken stock or broth. Stir until the roux mixture and the broth are well combined.
  • Add the bay leaves and the brown sugar, bringing the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium low and cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, for about 1 to 1-1/2 hours.
  • Add shrimp to the soup approximately 15 to 20 minutes prior to serving (size of the shrimp will determine how long they need to cook). Add salt and pepper to taste.

  • Season the gumbo well: Gumbo is a flavorful dish, so don't be afraid to season it well. Use a variety of spices, such as cayenne pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
  • Let the gumbo simmer: Simmering allows the flavors to meld together and develop. Simmer the gumbo for at least 30 minutes, or longer if you have time.
