This is originally a shrimp gumbo recipe, but it's gumbo, so you can add whatever turns you on. I always eat it with more than just a few dashes of Tabasco. I hope you like it.

Time 1h

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 large onion, diced
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/2 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
1/2 cup sliced scallion
6 cloves minced garlic
4 cups chicken broth
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon creole seasoning (Tony Chachere's)
2 lbs shrimp or 2 lbs chicken (etc.)

Steps:

  • In a large stockpot combine oil and flour and cook over medium-high heat about 15 minutes or until it turns very dark brown, almost between brown and black.
  • You will have to stir almost constantly.
  • This is called the roux.
  • Add onions, parsley, celery, bell peppers, scallions and garlic and cook about 10 more minutes or until vegetables are tender, stirring regularly.
  • Add broth, salt, and creole seasoning.
  • (If you like you may also add a 10 oz package of frozen okra at this point, but I despise the stuff).
  • Cover pot and simmer 15 minutes stirring occasionally.
  • Add your chosen combination of meat at this point and simmer an additional 10 minutes (if using whole pieces of crab like claws, or blue crab halves cook a little longer to ensure they're cooked all the way.).
  • Ladle over steamed white rice.

I'm not a fan of spicy food, so I omitted the cayenne pepper from the recipe. The gumbo was still very flavorful, and it had just the right amount of heat for me.

This gumbo is a great way to use up leftover chicken and sausage. It's also a very forgiving recipe, so you can easily adjust the ingredients to your liking. I added some extra vegetables, and it turned out delicious!

I'm not a big fan of okra, so I omitted it from the recipe. The gumbo still turned out great! It was rich and flavorful, and the chicken and sausage were cooked perfectly.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my gumbo turned out too thick. I think I should have added more liquid. Other than that, it was a tasty gumbo.

This gumbo was a bit bland for my taste. I had to add extra spices to give it some flavor. But overall, it was a good recipe and easy to follow.
