For a richer flavor, use homemade chicken stock. Adjust the amount of Cajun seasoning to your preference. Start with less and add more to taste. If the roux becomes too dark too quickly, reduce the heat slightly. Gumbo tastes even better the next day, as the flavors have more time to develop. Consider adding a bay leaf during the simmering process and removing it before serving.

01 Step
Recipe View In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, heat canola oil over medium heat. Gradually whisk in flour, stirring constantly until the mixture becomes a deep, reddish-brown roux, the color of peanut butter. This should take approximately 20 minutes. Be patient and stir continuously to prevent burning.
02 Step
Recipe View Add diced onion, green bell pepper, and celery to the pot with the roux. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables have softened, about 5 minutes. Add the chopped andouille sausage and continue to cook, stirring, until the sausage is lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
03 Step
Recipe View Stir in Cajun seasoning, chopped garlic, and black pepper. Cook for about 2 minutes, until fragrant, allowing the spices to bloom and release their aromas.
04 Step
Recipe View Slowly pour in the chicken stock, stirring constantly to incorporate it smoothly into the roux and vegetable mixture. Bring the gumbo to a simmer, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and deepen.
05 Step
Recipe View Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the gumbo. Cook until the shrimp are pink and cooked through, approximately 5-10 minutes. Be careful not to overcook the shrimp, or they will become rubbery.
06 Step
Recipe View Serve hot over cooked rice, if desired. Offer hot sauce on the side for those who prefer an extra kick.

Mar 10, 2025Simmering the gumbo for longer than 30 minutes really makes a difference in the flavor. I let mine simmer for an hour and it was incredible.
