SEAFOOD GUMBO
Truly the best gumbo recipe. The cayenne is adjustable for the amount of heat you want in your gumbo. If you like Cajun this is by far the best gumbo you will ever have. The recipe was given to me by a Cajun about 5 years ago and I finally came to making it and WOW. (this stores well in mason jars. if your not serving immediately only add seafood to the mixture when you are to serve and only when mixture is boiling for a 3 minutes and then take the gumbo off the heat.)

Steps:
- *Make seafood stock from 2 teaspoons salt, shrimp heads and shells, crab bodies,(fish carcasses or all of the above for stock) along with the carrots, celery and onions.Bring to a boil 4 quarts of water, lower heat to mid heat 45 m -1hour. Strain the stock, discarding solids.
- Cook okra in the butter/oil blend in a large, heavy stainless steel pot over medium heat, stirring and scraping until some of the sliminess is gone; about 10-15 minutes.
- At same time make Roux by blending 1/3 cup flour with 1/3 cup oil keep stirring on mid heat until brown - darkish brown.
- In another pan fry, onions, celery, garlic, peppers, lemon, the seasonings and herb mix for 10 minute.
- Add tomato and tomato paste and cook over low to medium heat for about 15 minute.
- add okra and Roux together . then add to veggie mix for 15 minute stirring and scraping often.
- Very slowly blend the stock into the mixture. Simmer about 30 minute.
- Add crab and shrimp and simmer 10 to 15 minutes.
- Add oysters and simmer about 5 minutes. Add green onions.
- Cook desired amount of white parboiled rice and place in a soup bowl.
- Pour desired amount of the gumbo over cooked rice.
- You can play with the amounts to your liking but this is absolutely cant miss.
- you can play with the volume of seafood to your liking,
- This is a large volume for a fairly big crowd my suggestion is to leave the shrimp, crab and oysters out and jar/can the gumbo as a base for when you are ready for it and then once boiling add the seafood.

Steps:
- 1. boil a 3lb chicken and de-bone and shred after its cooled. i usually boil and debone the chicken and chop all the veggies the day before so all i have to do is throw everything together the next day.save your chicken broth. also slice the smoked sausage the day before.
- 2. chop onions and celery and sweat them in butter til translucent. slice the smoked sausage and brown for about 5 minutes.
- 3. in a big stock pot (I use a 16 quart one) start making the roux using the oil and flour. cook on low heat stirring constantly to prevent burning till its a dark copper color. This takes about 20=30 minutes. DON"T RUSH IT!!! If it burns, throw it out and start over .
- 4. When you have finished making the roux, stir in the sweated onion and celery and the garlic.
- 5. Add 3 to 4 cups of chicken stock and stir till it blends in. Then add the fire roasted tomatoes and tomato sauce. Keep at a low simmer.
- 6. Drain the grease off the smoked sausage and stir in. Add the shrimp, okra and chicken.Add chicken stock as needed to bring it to the desired consistency. We like ours a little thick.
- 7. Add the Tony Chachere's. You can add more if not spicey enough.Add salt to taste to bring out the flavors. Let simmer till the shrimp and okra are done. About 5-10 minutes. Enjoy over rice. Makes about 8-10 quarts.
