Sausage and Seafood Gumbo
This recipe is adapted from Paul Prudohmme's recipe. If you don't want the crab and oysters, feel free to omit them, but add in 1 chicken breast or 2 chicken thighs, finely diced instead to give the soup some body. You may be tempted to use butter for the roux, but don't. It will burn and turn bitter. This recipe is easiest if you have two large pots, but if you don't, you can transfer the roux to a bowl, and use 1 pot.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Prepare the onions, celery, bell pepper, and okra in a bowl.
- 2
Add the spices into a small bowl.
- 3
In a skillet, brown the sausage over high heat. If you bought fully cooked sausage, skip this step and go directly to making roux
- 4
Once the sausages are browned, remove them and place on a plate to cool. Don't worry if they're still raw inside.
- 5
Deglaze the pan with a little stock and add it back to the main stock.
- 6
Prepare the roux by adding the oil to a heavy stock pot over high heat.
- 7
When the oil begins smoking sprinkle the flour and begin to whisk the mixture.
- 8
Continue whisking. Do not walk away or your roux will burn. You are looking for a deep red brown color. Be very careful, splashing the roux will severely burn you.
- 9
It's beginning to take color.
- 10
Almost there.
- 11
That's about good. Took roughly 10 minutes.
- 12
Reduce heat to medium and add half of the vegetables, dumping away from you to prevent splashing.
- 13
Stir and cook the veggies for 2 minutes.
- 14
Add the remaining veggies, spices, and garlic. Cook another 2 minutes
- 15
Remove the roux from heat.
- 16
Bring the stock to simmer in a large pot.
- 17
Add the roux a spoonful at a time, stirring in between so it's not lumpy.
- 18
Bring the soup to a simmer. Cut the sausage into chunks and add to the gumbo. If you're using chicken, add it here too.
- 19
Simmer for 20 min, or longer to suit your schedule.
- 20
Add the shrimp, crab, and oysters. Cook until the shrimp are pink or about 3 minutes
- 21
Add the parsley, green onion, and gumbo filé. Stir and serve over hot rice.

When I travel to New Orleans I always look forward to eating Gumbo. Chicken and Andouille sausage is a classic Cajun meal but some people prefer shrimp or seafood gumbo. A nice hardy meal.
