This is a recipe based off of the last time I made gumbo. It was OUTSTANDING! I made it for a large group of friends and everyone enjoyed it. This is my attempt at writing it down for future reference!

Time 7h

Yield 15 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup flour
1 cup vegetable oil
12 cups water
12 chicken bouillon cubes
1 whole chicken (cut up)
4 andouille sausages, chopped
3 stalks celery, chopped
1 white onion, chopped
1 lb okra, chopped
1 tablespoon cajun seasoning
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons Tabasco sauce
1 lb raw shrimp

Steps:

  • 5 hours before you plan to serve the gumbo, begin making the roux.
  • Combine flour and oil in a skillet and heat on medium low. Stir frequently!
  • Combine the rest of the ingredients except for the shrimp and okra in a large pot. Chicken bones and all (this will add great flavor)!
  • Heat on medium for 4 hours stirring occasionally.
  • After 4 hours, add the shrimp and okra and begin removing chicken bones as you find them.
  • Once the roux has reached a nice, dark brown color (this should take about 4 or 5 hours when done correctly), add it to the soup mixture.
  • Be careful! It will sizzle and pop.
  • In about 1 more hour, the shrimp should be fully thawed and cooked without adding a strong shrimpy flavor to the gumbo.
  • Serve over rice. Warn your guests about the potential threat of chicken bones! ;).
  • Enjoy!
