Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. If you’re making seafood gumbo then shell the shrimp and steep shells in chicken stock about 20 minutes.
  2. Heat a steel pan over medium heat about 3 minutes. Add flour and whisk constantly so it won’t burn. It may be a good idea to turn on the vent as it will smoke some. When it gets to a light brown it’s done (about 12 minutes). Pull off the heat and either put it in a bowl to cool or continue whisking until the pan cools a little, or it will continue to cook or burn.
  3. Heat a large non-stick pan or iron skillet over medium heat for four minutes. Add the celery, bell pepper, onions and seasoning. Stir to mix well. Add 1/4 cup chicken stock, mix and let it cook down.
  4. When the stock has evaporated let the veggies cook, undisturbed, for one minute. You’ll do this a total of three times. Each time the flavor will become more intense. So at the end of this process you will have added 3/4 chicken stock.
  5. Add 1/2 cup more stock and the browned flour. This will make a paste. Let is sit for one minute undisturbed. This is browning the flour a little more. Now add the rest of the stock and mix well.
  6. If you’re making chicken gumbo, add you’re cubed chicken and sausage slices now. Cook for 20-30 minutes, uncovered.
  7. If you’re making Seafood Gumbo then just add sausage slices and cook for 20 minutes. Then add your shrimp and crab and cook for 10 more minutes.
