Instructions

  1. Making the Gumbo Roux: In a large stockpot, melt butter over medium-high heat. Whisk in flour. Cook for 5-7 minutes, whisking constantly until roux is a golden brown (like peanut butter) and has a nutty aroma.
  2. Sautéing the Vegetables: Add onion, celery, bell pepper, and garlic. Cook until onion is translucent. (The roux will coat the veggies and continue to brown while the veggies cook.)
  3. Building the Gumbo Base: Whisk in about 1/2 of the chicken broth, whisking until all of the flour is incorporated and the base of the gumbo is smooth.
  4. Adding Ingredients: Add the rest of the broth, diced tomatoes & green chiles, bay leaves, and all of the spices. Bring to a low boil over medium heat. Add okra and smoked sausage. Reduce heat to medium low and let simmer until okra is completely cooked.
  5. Finishing Touches: Stir in shrimp. Cook for 5-8 min. until they are pink and firm. Stir in the chopped fresh parsley, and your gumbo is ready to serve!

Notes

  • This gumbo pairs wonderfully with steamed rice or crusty bread.
  • Adjust the spice levels to suit your taste preferences.
