Bring base to simmer before continuing.
- Add shrimp to pot and cook shrimp until just opaque in center, stirring often, about 5 minutes. Season gumbo to taste with salt and pepper. Garnish with minced parsley and serve with steamed rice alongside.
SHRIMP GUMBO WITH ANDOUILLE SAUSAGE
Most cooks agree that gumbos must have the vegetable trinity of chopped bell pepper, onion and celery, and that they should be highly seasoned. Some gumbos do contain sausage, shrimp and chicken, but there are humbler ones that are made with only salt pork, onions and greens. Finally, there is the filé powder camp. These cooks use copious amounts of the stuff, which is made from finely powdered sassafras leaves. Added at the last minute, it thickens the soup while imparting a flavor that's earthy and herbal. I confess to using all three - a roux, okra and filé powder - in my own gumbo, which I hope is not sacrilegious. Not having grown up in gumbo territory, I based mine on a number of visits to New Orleans.

Steps:
- Peel and devein shrimp. Reserve shrimp shells for broth. Season shrimp with salt and pepper, thyme and 1/2 teaspoon garlic. Cover and refrigerate. Make the shrimp broth.
- Make the gumbo base: In a heavy-bottomed soup pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add onion, bell pepper and celery and cook briskly, stirring frequently, until lightly browned, about 8 minutes. Sprinkle in flour and stir to combine. Continue cooking for about 5 minutes, stirring, until flour-vegetable mixture is well browned. Add tomato paste, paprika, cayenne and remaining garlic. Cook for 1 minute, stirring well, then add diced tomato and andouille sausage and cook for about 2 minutes. Season mixture generously with salt and pepper.
- Stir in shrimp broth and reduce heat to medium. With a wooden spoon, scrape bottom of pot to dissolve any browned bits. Simmer for about 25 minutes, until gumbo base thickens somewhat. Taste and adjust salt. (You may prepare gumbo base up to this point several hours ahead; bring it back to a brisk simmer before continuing.)
- Add okra and let cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add shrimp and cook for 2 minutes more. Turn off heat. Stir in filé powder. Serve immediately, sprinkled with scallions, along with steamed rice or cornbread if desired.

Steps:
- Heat a 6-quart pot over medium-high heat. Add the oil. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and fry until golden brown on both sides and cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove and set aside, leaving the oil in the pot.
- To make the roux, reduce the heat to medium and stir the flour into the hot oil, making a thick paste. Cook, stirring, until the roux is the color of dark peanut butter, about 20 minutes. Watch closely and stir constantly because roux are easily burned.
- Stir in the garlic, celery, onion, bell pepper and bay leaves and let them sweat until the vegetables are soft. Add the andouille, chicken stock and salt and pepper to taste and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 1-1/2 hours, stirring occasionally to keep the roux from sticking to the bottom of the pot and burning.
- While the gumbo simmers, pull the meat from the chicken. Stir it into the gumbo the last 30 minutes or so of cooking, along with the shrimp.
- Remove the gumbo from the heat, discard the bay leaves (if used) and stir in the green onions and parsley. Serve over rice.

SHRIMP AND ANDOUILLE GUMBO
This recipe can be made with prepared stock, but it makes perfect sense to use the shrimp shells you would otherwise discard to make your own, at a fraction of the cost and 10 times the flavor. Don't worry if you don't have all the herbs; the most important ingredients are the shrimp shells, onion, bay leaf and carrot. The stock will still be good even if it's missing a few components.

Steps:
- Combine peppers, onions, and celery in a bowl and have ready next to the stove. In a large heavy skillet (cast iron is best) heat oil until it just begins to smoke. Gradually add flour, whisking constantly. Continue whisking constantly and cook over medium to medium-high heat until roux is dark brown and very fragrant. Add vegetable mixture and stir with a wooden spoon, continuing to cook, for 2 minutes. Add salt and dry seasonings and garlic and stir to combine, cooking for another 1 to 2 minutes, then remove pan from heat.
- Place shrimp stock in a large Dutch oven or stockpot and bring to a gentle boil. Gradually add roux mixture to boiling stock, whisking constantly, until completely incorporated and dissolved. Return to a boil and add the andouille, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, then add shrimp and turn off heat. Let gumbo sit for 5 minutes to allow shrimp to cook, then serve immediately over a scoop of plain white rice.
- Note: You can do everything in this recipe up to the point of adding the shrimp beforehand; bring gumbo up to a boil before adding shrimp to serve.
- Cooking the roux can be tricky. For safety's sake, wear good oven mitts while whisking (roux can cook to nearly 400 degrees F!) and be very careful not to let it burn on the bottom. If black bits show up in the roux before it is done, you must start over, boo-hoo. If the roux starts to smoke, remove it from the heat for a few minutes and keep whisking?remember that the pan will retain a lot of heat that will continue to cook the roux even off the flame. This is not a quick project! Your patience will be rewarded with a rich, delicious gumbo.
- Peel and de-vein the shrimp and reserve the shells. Refrigerate the shrimp until needed. In a saucepan or stockpot, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion, carrot, and celery and cook until slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Then, add the shrimp shells and cook, stirring constantly, until shells are pink and fragrant. Add the wine and cook until reduced by half. Add water to the pot to just past the level of the shrimp shells and add peppercorns, bay leaf, and thyme. Bring to a boil and immediately reduce to a simmer. Skim impurities (i.e., scum) from top of stock and simmer for approximately 30 to 45 minutes. Strain stock and reserve.
SHRIMP AND ANDOUILLE GUMBO
Found on the internet, cannot give credit to the author. This is wonderful, we have made this several times. This makes a small batch, a good size for two people. Will need to double for more than two. The white wine really makes this gumbo.

Steps:
- Heat 3 Tbsp vegetable oil over medium high heat. When the oil is hot add about two tablespoons of flour and mix it in quickly. When it's incorporated add a third tablespoon and blend into the roux. The idea is to quickly brown the flour without burning it. You want the roux rather thick and may need to add small amounts of flour to thicken during the mixing process if it thins out a lot.
- Continue cooking until it's very dark. When you think it's dark enough - it should be a very dark brown - add the veggies and spices. Continue cooking over medium heat until vegetables start to soften and then add the garlic and andouille.
- Simmer for 5-10 minutes and slowly add in the wine, clam juice, tomato sauce and chicken stock. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Raise heat to medium high until gumbo starts to bubble and thicken and then reduce heat to medium or medium low.
- Add the shrimp and stir a few times as they cook, simmer just until shrimp turn pink. Spoon over rice and garnish with green onions.

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the necessary ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling during the cooking process.
- Choose the Right Gumbo File: File powder is an important ingredient that adds flavor and thickening to gumbo. There are two main types of file powder: light and dark. Light file powder is made from dried sassafras leaves and has a mild flavor. Dark file powder is made from dried chicory roots and has a more robust flavor. Choose the type of file powder that best suits your taste preferences.
- Use a Heavy-Bottomed Pot: A heavy-bottomed pot will help to distribute heat evenly and prevent the gumbo from burning.
- Sauté the Vegetables: Sautéing the vegetables in a little bit of oil before adding them to the gumbo will help to enhance their flavor and color.
- Cook the Gumbo Low and Slow: Gumbo is a slow-cooked dish, so be patient and let it simmer for at least 1 hour, or up to 2 hours for a richer flavor.
- Season to Taste: Taste the gumbo as it cooks and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, cayenne pepper, or file powder to taste.
- Serve with Rice: Gumbo is traditionally served with rice, but you can also serve it with other sides such as cornbread, potato salad, or coleslaw.
Conclusion:
Gumbo is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its rich flavor and hearty ingredients, gumbo is a perfect meal for a cold winter day or a special occasion.
