Chorizo and Shrimp Gumbo Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Add the oil to a dutch oven or stockpot and heat over medium-high heat.
  • When the oil is hot, add the sausage and brown for 2-3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a plate.
  • Make a light brown roux by whisking flour into the oil and pan drippings, adding more oil by the tablespoonful as needed.
  • When the roux is the color of caramel, add the celery, bell pepper, onion, bay leaves, and hot sauce to the pot. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Mix well and saute the vegetables until they are soft.
  • When the veggies are tender, slowly stir the stock into the pot. Bring the stock to a boil.
  • Add the tomatoes and okra, the thyme and a pinch of cayenne pepper.
  • Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20-30 minutes.
  • Season the shrimp with the Cajun seasoning.
  • During the final 5-6 minutes of cooking time add the shrimp to the gumbo and raise the heat to medium. Cook until the shrimp are translucent and tightly curled.
  • Serve the gumbo over hot buttered white rice, garnished with thyme and scallions.
  • Pass file powder at the for sprinkling.
