5 garlic cloves
1 yellow onion
1/2 green bell pepper
1 teaspoon gumbo file
1 teaspoon seasoning salt
1/2 tablespoon pepper
1/2 tablespoon garlic powder
1/2 tablespoon sugar
1 1/2 cups tomato sauce
2 cups water
1/8 tablespoon red pepper flakes
1/8 teaspoon red pepper
3 bay leaves
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 1/2 lbs large shrimp
1 lb smoked sausage (Kilbosa)

Steps:

Sautee sausage, garlic, bell pepper and onion in olive oil. Add all the seasoings except the fil`e and simmer. Then add tomato sauce and water. Let simmer a while longer. Then add bay leaf. Let simmer about 5 minutes and then add shrimp (cleaned and devained). Now add frozen Okra and canned corn (I like this combo though you can use both fresh). Let simmer about 10-15 minutes Taste for good salt taste, if okay, add gumbo file and stir good to mix in well. Turn off heat and let sit for a while. Serve over white rice with your favorite bread. Enjoy.
