I'm posting this for safe keeping. My mama makes the best gumbo I have ever tasted. I haven't known anyone who didn't think this was the best!! It does not require a roux, as many gumbo recipes do. I usually double this recipe and freeze.

Provided by @MakeItYours

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 tablespoons Crisco cooking oil
1 lb okra, fresh (if using frozen okra, cook in the microwave for about 15 min., drain, then fry)
1 onion, chopped
1 bunch green onion, chopped
1/2 cup celery, chopped
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
2 sprigs parsley, chopped
1 bay leaf
1 sprig thyme
2 quarts water
2 lbs shrimp, peeled
1 lb crabmeat
1 dozen oyster (optional)
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Fry okra in oil for 30-45 minute.
  • Add onions and celery and cook until soft.
  • Stir in tomato sauce, parsley, bay leaf, thyme and water. Simmer 30 minute.
  • Add shrimp, crabmeat and oysters. Simmer another 30 minute.
  • NOTE: This is better if cooked in the morning and allowed to stand. Serve over rice.
