Ingredients

1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 onion, diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
3 celery stalks, diced
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp Cajun seasoning
8 cups chicken broth
2 cups diced cooked chicken
2 cups sliced smoked sausage
1 cup sliced okra
1 lb large shrimp, cleaned and deveined
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Cooked white rice, for serving
Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the flour and stir constantly to make a roux, cooking for about 20 minutes or until it turns a dark brown color.
Add the onion, bell pepper, and celery, and cook for about 10 minutes or until the vegetables are softened.
Add the garlic and Cajun seasoning and cook for another minute.
Slowly pour in the chicken broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
Add the chicken, sausage, and okra, and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 1 hour or until the gumbo thickens and the flavors meld together.
Add the shrimp and cook for 5-7 minutes or until they turn pink and are cooked through.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Serve the gumbo over cooked white rice and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
