Seafood Gumbo

Ingredients

• •1/4 cup vegetable oil
• •1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• •1 medium onion, diced
• •2 stalks celery, diced
• •1 large bell pepper, diced
• •6 cups chicken or seafood broth
• •1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• •1 pound lump crab meat
• •2 cups fresh okra, sliced
• •2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
• •1 teaspoon hot sauce
• •3 cups cooked rice

Directions

1. 1Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat and whisk in flour to create a dark roux, stirring constantly for 8-10 minutes until chocolate brown.
2. 2Add onion, celery, and bell pepper to the roux and sauté for 5 minutes until softened.
3. 3Pour in broth slowly while stirring to avoid lumps, then add Cajun seasoning and hot sauce.
4. 4Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes to develop flavors.
5. 5Add okra and simmer for 10 minutes, then gently stir in shrimp and crab meat.
6. 6Cook for 5-7 minutes until shrimp are pink and cooked through.
7. 7Serve over rice in bowls and garnish as desired.

💡 A dark roux gives seafood gumbo depth, but shrimp and crab belong late; seafood added during the roux-and-broth simmer turns tough before serving.
