If you're not familiar with Gumbo, its a all-in-one-pot stew that originated in Southern Louisiana, USA. Gumbo consist of a rich stock, meat or some kind of seafood, a thickening agent (roux) and the Holy Trinity, (celery, bell peppers and onions). I found a recipe which allowed me to prepare this in a Cock Pot, this was Memorial Day dinner. Enjoy
This was the end result
The first step is making the Roux, this is Flour and Fat. I used Oilve Oil and Butter
Notice the change in color
This is the color I was looking for, a dark and rich reddish color. You'll have to stir your Roux constantly, failing this step could result in you having to start the process all over again. Don't scorch your Roux.
The Holy Trinity & The Smoked Sausage
It's starting to come together
Cant forget the Shrimp
Voila!!
