Seafood Gumbo
1 Cup of Oil
2 Cups of Flour
6 quarts of water
1 10-ounce can rotel
2 stalks celery
2 cups of onions
1 cup bell pepper (I use red yellow green to give it a different color)
1 clove garlic-minced
4 pounds of peeled & diveined shrimp ( I use 40-50 count)
1 pound crab (lump) meat
1 pint of oysters & reserve the liquid.
Salt, pepper, Cayenne to taste.
1. Make a dark roux with oil and flour; add water and bring to a slow boil until all the roux is dissolved. Once roux is dissolved add rotel, seasoning, and veggies and cook till tender, then simmer on low heat for 1-2 hours.
2. Add shrimp and add temp to bring back to a low boil, cook for another 6-10 mins (till shrimp or pink) then add rest of seafood. (If liquid is too thick and some oyster liquid till thin to your liking) cook for another 10 Mins. And then serve over cooked rice.
Note-You could buy already made roux its the same, just add ½ 10 oz jar or the whole jar & then thin with oyster juice/water.
Should serve 10-12 normal people or about 4 hungry Cajuuns! Also Potato Salad will go good with this!!
