Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup Vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup All-purpose flour
  • 1 large Onion chopped
  • 1 large Green bell pepper chopped
  • 3 Celery stalks chopped
  • 4 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1 pound Andouille sausage sliced
  • 6 cups Chicken broth
  • 2 cups Okra sliced (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 can 14 oz Diced tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons Creole seasoning
  • 2 Bay leaves
  • 1 pound Shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 1/2 pound Crab meat lump
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Make the Roux: In your large pot, combine the vegetable oil and flour over medium heat. Stir continuously for about 20 minutes or until the roux becomes a rich, dark brown color. This is the foundation of your gumbo, so give it the love it deserves!
  • Sauté the Vegetables: Add the chopped onion, green bell pepper, celery, and garlic to the roux. It will take about 5 minutes of cooking until the veggies are soft. This is the place where the magic starts.
  • Bring in the Andouille: Toss in the sliced Andouille sausage and stir for another 5 minutes. The sausage not only adds depth but also a smoky flavor that’s key to the Pappadeaux gumbo.
  • Pour and Simmer: Gradually stir in the chicken broth, okra, diced tomatoes, Creole seasoning, and bay leaves. First, bring the mixture to a boil. Then, turn down the heat and let it cook slowly for 45 minutes. This is a good place to be patient, my friend.
  • Seafood Time: Add the shrimp and crab meat to the pot. Season with salt and pepper to taste. In about 5 minutes, the shrimp should be pink and firm.
  • The Finale: Remove the bay leaves, and voila! Your Pappadeaux gumbo is ready to serve. Dish it out in bowls, maybe with a side of rice, and watch as your kitchen turns into the best seat in town.
