14 GUMBO GRABS FOUND AT MOST EVERY GROCERY

2 LBS SHRIMP CLEANED AND SHELLS USED FOR STOCK

2L.BS CRAWFISH TAILS WITH FAT IN THE P;ACKAGE IF FRESH IS NOT AVAILable

3 tspoons liquid crab boil this is available most everywhere

1 bunch green onions thinly sliced uSED FOR GARNISH

salt and sea salt to taste

6- cups steamed rice

1/2 cup parsley ( fresh only diced for garnish)

1pACK OF PRECOOKED LINK SAUSAGE ( FRESH)

Some fillet gumbo to be added at the last minute ( it is a thickening agent

2 BAY LEAF

14 SMALL GUMBO CRABS ( IN ANY GOOD FREEZEE)

Directions

Lets build our gumbo

I suggest you get all the chopping outof the way so you can keep y our eyes on the "Roux"

First make a roux in a heavy sauce pan . whisk it till the roux which is a misture of the flour and oil is just the right color of brown and I make mine dark

Do not leave this alsone as nothing will scorch faster then an unattended roux I have suffered many times and had to begin again

When the roux is right add thebell pepper the garlic,the musrooms BAY LEAFare uniformly stirred and not too crowded

The temperture will go down but don't trust that roux till you get the liquid intothe pot

;tO MAKE A HEAVY SHRIMP STOCK REMOVE THE SHELLS A ND BIL IN A PURE WATER TILL THE WATER TURNS DARK AND SMELLS OF SHRIM

tHENJ uSE 2 QUARTS OF CHICKEN STOCK

aDD THE BAY LEAF THE OTHER VEGGIES AND THE LIQUID. iF THE ROUX IS NOT THICK ENOUGH USE THE KITCEN BOUQUET AND FLOUR AND THICKEN IT BUT NO ONE WATS A THICK THICK ROUX

tIME TO PUT IN THE SEAFOOD WHICH IS THE CRAWFISH TAILS WITH FAT , 6-10 GUMBO CRABS AND THE SHRIMP

ttHIS SHOULD BE DEVINE BUT IF YOU WANT TO ADD A LITTLE THIS OR A LITTLE THAT GO RIGHT AHEAD CAUSE GUMBO MEANS A MIXTURE OF THIS AND THAT

sO LONG AS YOU HAVE THE PROPER ROUX ADD WHATEVER YOU WANT

i SERVE THIS OVER STEAMING RICE IN A GUMBO BOWL WITH fRENCH BREAD i HAVE JUST PULLED OUT OF MY OVEN hOT

wANT TO COME OVER FOR DINNER?
