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.

Time 2h30m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

8 ounces clam juice
3 1/2 cups ice water
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup all-purpose flour (preferably bleached)
2 medium onions, chopped fine
2 medium red bell peppers, chopped fine
10 ounces frozen okra, thawed and cut (if using fresh okra, trim the caps and slice the pods 1/4-inch thick)
6 medium garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon table salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 bay leaves
3/4 lb smoked sausage (such as andouille or kielbasa)
1/2 cup fresh parsley leaves, minced

ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Bring reserved shrimp shells and 4 1/2 cups wter to boil in stockpot or large saucepan over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer 20 minutes. Strain stock and add clam juice and ice water (you should have about 2 quarts of tepid stock, 100 to 110 degrees); discard shells. Set stock mixture aside.
  • Heat oil in Dutch oven or large, heavy-bottomed sauce-pan over medium-high heat until it registers 200 degrees on an instant-read thermometer, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and stir in flour gradually with wooden spatula or spoon, working out any small lumps. Continue stirring constantly, reaching into corners of pan, until mixture has a toasty aroma and is deep reddish brown, about the color of an old copper penny or between the colors of milk chocolate and dark chocolate, about 20 minutes. (The roux will thin as it cooks; if it begins to smoke, remove from heat and stir constantly to cool slightly.).
  • Add onion, bell pepper, clelery, okra, garlic, thyme, salt, and cayenne; cook, stirring frequently, until vegetables soften, 8 to 10 minutes (or 10 to 15 minutes if using fresh okra.) Add 1 quart reserved stock mixture in slow, steady stream, stirring vigorously. Stir in remaining quart stock mixture. Increase heat to high; bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, skim off foam on surface, about 30 minutes.
  • Stir in sausage; continue simmering to blend flavors, about 30 minutes longer. Stir in shrimp; simmer until cooked through, about 5 minutes longer. Off heat, stir in parsley and scallions, adjust seasonings to taste with salt, ground black pepper, and cayenne; serve (traditionally gumbo is served over white rice.).
  • Roux Making Tip: Luke warm stock and constant stirring are keys to the right consistency.

CHICKEN, SAUSAGE AND SHRIMP GUMBO



Chicken, Sausage and Shrimp Gumbo image

I know, another gumbo recipe....This one is from 'Plantation Celebrations', the cookbook I received from the best swap partner ever, Luby, in the latest swap. The addition of the shrimp was my idea. I really liked this recipe because there weren't a lot of spicy spices in it...I like the spiciness but my husband does not. It was easy enough for me to add Tabasco to my own portion while at the table. I used smoked turkey sausage in this.

CHEF JOHN'S DUCK, SAUSAGE, AND SHRIMP GUMBO



Chef John's Duck, Sausage, and Shrimp Gumbo image

This can be made with hundreds of different combinations of smoked meats, game, poultry, and seafood, and in my opinion, the more the merrier. The procedure is pretty straightforward, although you're talking about a full day's project. Serve in a large soup plate with a scoop of cooked white rice, a sprinkle of green onion, and a pinch of cayenne.

Time 6h25m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 tablespoon vegetable oil, or more as needed
2 duck legs
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
6 cups chicken broth
1 pound andouille sausage, thickly sliced
1 large onion, chopped
1 cup diced peppers
1 cup chopped celery
4 green onions, chopped
½ teaspoon dried thyme
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
1 cup diced fresh tomatoes
1 smoked ham hock
2 cups water, or as needed
1 cup pickled okra, rinsed and sliced
1 pound gulf shrimp
1 pound crawfish tail meat
1 tablespoon chopped green onion

Steps:

  • Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook duck legs in the hot oil, skin-side down, until duck legs are browned and skillet contains rendered duck fat, about 10 minutes on the skin side. Flip and cook 3 to 4 minutes on the meat side. Remove duck legs from skillet, leaving rendered duck fat in the skillet.
  • Whisk 1 cup flour into the duck fat, adding enough vegetable oil to make the flour mixture a thick and smooth roux. Turn heat to medium-low and cook the roux, stirring constantly, until it turns a rich reddish-brown color, about 40 minutes. Whisk 2 more tablespoons flour into roux and cook for 2 minutes.
  • Whisk chicken broth into roux, 1 cup at a time, until all broth has been incorporated. Remove roux mixture from heat.
  • Brown andouille sausage in a large Dutch oven over medium heat, about 8 minutes; stir in onion, peppers, celery, and 4 green onions, cooking until onion is translucent, about 10 minutes. Stir thyme, bay leaf, black pepper, and cayenne pepper into sausage mixture, followed by diced tomatoes. Stir to combine.
  • Place smoked ham hock into the center of the sausage and vegetables. Pour roux mixture over ham hock along with enough water to cover. Place duck legs into mixture. Bring to a simmer, turn heat to low, and cover with a lid set at an angle to let steam out. Simmer slowly, stirring occasionally until duck and ham hock meat are tender, about 4 hours. Skim as much fat as possible off the top as it simmers.
  • Remove duck and ham hock to a bowl and let cool. Stir pickled okra into gumbo. Pick meat from duck legs and pork hock and return meat to the gumbo. Simmer gumbo for 45 more minutes.
  • Turn heat to medium-high, bring gumbo to a boil, and stir in shrimp and crawfish tails. Cook until shrimp and crawfish tails are bright pink, about 3 minutes. Stir in 1 tablespoon green onion, taste and adjust seasoning, and serve.

Tips:

  • Prep work: Before you start cooking, make sure all your ingredients are prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and ensure that your gumbo cooks evenly.
  • Use a heavy pot: A heavy pot will help distribute the heat evenly and prevent your gumbo from burning.
  • Don't crowd the pot: When you're adding your ingredients to the pot, don't overcrowd it. This will prevent the gumbo from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the sausage and shrimp separately: Cooking the sausage and shrimp separately will help prevent them from overcooking.
  • Use a dark roux: A dark roux will give your gumbo a rich, deep flavor.
  • Simmer the gumbo for at least 30 minutes: Simmering the gumbo for at least 30 minutes will help the flavors meld and develop.
  • Serve the gumbo over rice: Gumbo is traditionally served over rice, but you can also serve it with pasta or mashed potatoes.

Conclusion:

Sausage and shrimp gumbo is a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. With its bold flavors and easy-to-follow instructions, this recipe is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
