Answer 1

This one has shrimp & sausage.. :

SHRIMP AND ANDOUILLE SAUSAGE GUMBO

1/2 cup all purpose flour
4 celery stalks, coarsely chopped
2 medium onions, coarsely chopped
2 green bell peppers, chopped
2 bay leaves
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons dried oregano, crumbled
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
5 8-ounce bottles clam juice
1 28-ounce can plum tomatoes, drained, chopped
1 pound smoked andouille or kielbasa sausage, halved lengthwise,
sliced 1/4 inch thick
1/2 pound okra, trimmed, cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices

2 pounds uncooked medium shrimp, peeled, deveined
Freshly cooked long-grain rice
2 tomatoes, seeded, diced

Heat oil heavy large Dutch oven over high heat until almost smoking. Add flour and stir until dark red-brown, about 8 minutes. Immediately add celery, onions and bell peppers. Cook 5 minutes, stirring and scraping bottom of pan often. Mix in bay leaves, salt, oregano and cayenne. Add clam juice, canned tomatoes and sausage. Boil 15 minutes. Add okra, reduce heat and simmer until okra is tender, about 15 minutes. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to simmer before continuing.)

Add shrimp to gumbo and simmer until just cooked through, about 3 minutes. Mound rice in soup bowls. Ladle gumbo over. Sprinkle with tomatoes.

Answer 2

I'm a cajun girl from bayou country. Real gumbo takes a time to make right. I've never put crawfish in a gumbo, but why not? I usually use crabmeat, shrimp and oysters.

Roux: 1 cup flour, 2/3 cup vegetable oil, wooden spoon, heavy skillet

On medium-low heat cook oil and flour stirring pretty much constsantly till a very rich brown. About 20-30 minutes. Be careful not to burn.

1 lg onion chopped
1 green bell pepper chopped
3 ribs celery chopped
1 Tablespoon fresh minced garlic
1 bunch green onions chopped

Place in skillet with roux and cook on low for 1 hour. Add water or seafood stock while cooking so veggies won't stick.

Meats: 1 pound Andouille sausage or smoked sausage
1 pound shrimp
1 pound crawfish or crabmeat

Place roux mixture into stock pot with 1 pound sliced sausage, 1-2 whole bay leaves and add water or stock to cover. Simmer 30 minutes.

Add shrimp and crawfish, fresh parsley (1/3 cup chopped) more water, salt, pepper and any other spices you wish to add like cayenne or Tony Chacherie's seasoning. Simmer 15 minutes then let sit about 30 minutes to soak up flavor. You can then add gumbo file to the whole pot or let each person add to their own dish. Serve over steamed rice. Accompany with garlic bread and salad. Tres bonn!

I found this link when I wanted to make gumbo a few weeks ago and it really helped me. I can make it from scratch w/o a recipe, but sometimes I refer to recipes found on the net to make sure I haven't left anything out. Don't forget your file powder to sprinkle over your gumbo right before you eat it. To me this is the kicker for gumbo. Without it I'd be lost!
You can alter this recipe to suit your tastes as I did.

It may be sacreligious not to make it from scratch, but if you can find a bag of Cajun Magic gumbo mix in the store, it's not bad and it's easy make.
