How to make it
- Chop all the veggies, in medium dice. Throw in a bowl and toss to mix. Reserve half of veggie mixture and bag for the jambalaya tomorrow.
- Heat scant oil and butter to cover the bottom of a six quart saucepot.
- Add the mix of veggies, sweat until soft and tender.
- Add a little more oil if it get too dry.
- Add flour and cook until the flour is slightly darkened and kind of looking like a darker than ale, not quite stout roux. Veggies are still in the pot and they are darkening. BUT NOT BURNT
- Add seasonings and stir.
- Add vermouth, bay leaf, tomatoes and jarred lobster stock base. Stir well and cook til very thick.
- Add stock and cook for 20 minutes, Stirring occasionally.
- Add raw and canned seafood, cook for 10 minutes more.
- Add water if too thick, we aren't looking for porridge consistency but a thick cream chowder like consistency.
- Garnish with chopped parsley and a wedge of lime.

This sounds and looks great Tina. I've never done a strictly seafood gumbo even though I have added shrimp to my chicken andouille gumbo. Nice pic too. 5 forks!
