Because it's that time of year, we are going to show you How to Make Seafood Gumbo at Home. This Seafood Gumbo Recipe with Tips and Tricks will create the most delicious and flavorful gumbo you've ever had. Blue Crabs are the star of the show with some help from shrimp, scallops and oysters. My first time making an oven roux was a success!
Ingredients
1.25 cup Vegetable oil (bacon grease, butter etc.)
2 cups of flour (much less oil in final product)
3.5-4 quarts of seafood stock (chicken stock or water)
3 cups chopped onions
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup chopped parsley
1 cup chopped green onions
1 cup bell pepper (red and Green)
3 sprigs thyme
3 tlbs minced garlic
Seafood – take your pick (crabs, oysters, scallops, shrimp, fish)
1-2 lbs Andouille sausage (sliced)
1 oz dried shrimp, 3 bay leaves, 15 whole peppercorns (tie in cheese cloth) (optional)
1 lb okra
3 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tlbs hot sauce
Salt/Creole seasoning to taste
File to taste
Seafood Stock
Shrimp shells/fish carcass etc.
4 quarts water
1 medium onion quartered
3 cloves garlic rough chopped
1 large carrot chopped
1 stalk celery chopped large
Salt/pepper to taste
Cooking
Make roux (DO NOT BURN)
Add onions, bell peppers, celery (cook until softened)
Add garlic, green onions, ¾ cup of parsley cook for a few minutes
Brown andouille and okra in separate pan (removes the slime and excess oil)
To roux, add stock, Worcestershire, hot sauce and thyme
Drop in andouille and small amounts of seafood to build flavors, bring to a boil then turn down to a simmer for at least 1-2 hour
Add okra 30 mins before adding crabs
Raw crabs can be dropped in about a half hour before finishing, cooked crab about 10 mins
Add shrimp, scallops, fish, oysters etc. in the last 5 minutes and remove from heat
Add file to taste in pot or in your bowl
Garnish with leftover parsley and enjoy
