ingredients
- 1⁄2 lb bacon
- 1 yellow onion, chopped
- 1 green bell pepper, chopped
- 2 cups celery, chopped
- 3 cups tomatoes, diced (canned is fine)
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 2 lbs raw cleaned shrimp
- 1 cup crabmeat (fresh or frozen)
- 1 lb sausage, chunks
- 3 cups frozen sliced okra
- 3 cups cooked rice
- 3 tablespoons Old Bay Seasoning
- Tabasco sauce
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 4 tablespoons flour
directions
- Dice and sauté bacon in the pot you plan to use. Add onion, bell pepper, celery and sauté about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes and broth. Cook till all vegetables are soft (about 30 minutes).
- Add all the meats (starting with shrimp), okra and rice.
- While those are cooking/warming, in a small pan melt the butter. Once it is completely melted, slowly stir in the flour and cook for about 5 minutes until it is golden brown. This is your roux to thicken the gumbo. Slowly stir the roux into your pot of gumbo at a slow boil. Add the Old Bay and a few dashes of Tabasco. Cook for about 5 more minutes and then it's ready!
