Cajun Sausage and Shrimp Gumbo
Ingredients
  • 1 cup canola oil
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1 green bell pepper, diced
  • 3 stalks celery, diced
  • 1 pound andouille sausage, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 6 cups low-sodium chicken stock
  • 1 pound peeled and deveined small shrimp
Instructions
1
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat and gradually blend it with flour, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens to a rich, nutty hue reminiscent of peanut butter, approximately 20 minutes.
2
Combine the chopped onion, green bell pepper, and celery with the flour mixture, stirring until they become soft and tender, roughly 5 minutes. Introduce the sausage into the mixture and cook until it's nicely browned, around 5 minutes. Add a pinch of Cajun seasoning, minced garlic, and black pepper; stir until the aroma is released and the mixture is fragrant, approximately 2 minutes.
3
Gradually pour in the chicken stock over the vegetable-sausage mixture; decrease the heat to a low simmer and let it cook for 30 minutes. Introduce the shrimp into the mixture and continue cooking until they turn pink and are cooked through, roughly 10 minutes.
