A rich and flavorful shrimp and sausage gumbo with a deep, dark roux base, packed with Cajun spices, okra, and served over rice.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 12 oz smoked andouille sausage, sliced
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 1 green bell pepper, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 6 cups chicken or seafood broth
  • 2 cups sliced okra
  • 2 tsp Cajun seasoning
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Cooked white rice, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat the vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook, stirring constantly, until the roux turns a deep chocolate brown.
  2. Stir in the onion, bell pepper, celery, and garlic. Cook until softened, then add the sausage, Cajun seasoning, paprika, thyme, and bay leaves.
  3. Gradually pour in the broth, stirring well. Add the okra and let everything simmer for 35–40 minutes until thick.
  4. Stir in the shrimp during the last 5 minutes of cooking, just until pink and tender.
  5. Remove the bay leaves, then finish with fresh parsley and sliced green onions. Serve hot on its own or over steamed white rice.

Notes

  • Use fresh okra for best texture.
  • Adjust Cajun seasoning to taste.
  • Shrimp cooks quickly, so add it last.
