cloves garlic
tsp Cajun Seasoning
tsp File (if available)
medium tomatoes, peeled and chopped (a can of cooked tomatoes can be substituted)
6 oz can tomato sauce
Salt to taste
T olive oil
3
4
cups water (more can be added if gumbo becomes too thick)
Instructions:
Peel shrimp. Cut okra into slices. Chop onion, bell pepper and celery coarsely. Sauté
onions, peppers and celery in oil in large pot (old cast iron pot is best). When onions start
to become translucent, add okra. Cook until it loses its sliminess then add shrimp. Peel
and chop garlic and add to pot. When shrimp turn pink, add tomatoes, sauce, water and
seasoning. Bring to boil and then simmer about 20 minutes. Add crab. Simmer 5 more
minutes.
Serve over fluffy white rice in a bowl. This thick rich soup is a winter favorite in Cajun
country. This is an adaptable meal; oysters can be added when you add the crab. Some
people also add sausage. A Cajun host always offers food, so if unexpected company
comes, just add water to stretch this gumbo.
Author’s Bio:
