SHRIMP AND SAUSAGE GUMBO

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• In a skillet over medium heat, brown the sliced sausage in 2 to 3 teaspoons of vegetable oil; remove the sausage to a plate and set aside.
• In a large stockpot or Dutch oven, combine the chicken broth and tomatoes. Place the pot over medium heat to bring to a simmer.
• Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium heat, combine the 1/2 cup of oil and the flour. Cook, whisking constantly, until the roux is medium to deep brown . This will take about 10 to 20 minutes. Keep stirring to keep the mixture from burning.
• To the skillet with the roux, add the chopped onion, celery, and bell peppers. Cook, stirring constantly with a spoon, until the vegetables are softened.
• Stir the vegetable and roux mixture into the simmering tomato and broth mixture.
• Put the skillet back over medium heat and add 2 more teaspoons of oil. Add the okra and cook, stirring, until lightly browned and not stringy or sticky.
• Transfer the cooked okra to the simmering pot along with the Creole or Cajun seasoning, bay leaf, and cooked sausage. Cover and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, for 1 hour.
• Add the prepared shrimp and cook for about 5 minutes longer, until the shrimp is cooked through.
• Taste and add salt and pepper, as needed. If desired, add file powder or serve on the side.
• Serve the gumbo over a mound of hot boiled long-grain white rice. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley or green onions.
