Ham and Shrimp Gumbo
Ingredients
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 onion, minced
  • 2 cups frozen cooked peeled and deveined jumbo shrimp
  • 3 cups chopped leftover honey-baked, spiral-cut ham
  • 1 ham bone
  • 2 (15 ounce) cans black beans
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup coconut milk
Instructions
1
Combine minced garlic, turmeric, chili powder, dried basil, and cayenne pepper in a small saucepan; heat it over medium heat until fragrant, approximately 1 minute. Melt butter into the mixture and add sliced onions; cook until the onions are softened and translucent, roughly 5 minutes. Transfer the onion mixture to a slow cooker, reserving as much butter as possible in the saucepan.
2
Increase the heat under the saucepan to medium-high heat and sauté frozen shrimp in hot butter until they are just cooked through, about 2 minutes; transfer the mixture to the slow cooker. Add diced ham, ham bone, black beans, and crushed tomatoes to the slow cooker.
3
Cook on High for 4-6 hours or on Low for 6-8 hours, until the ham on the bone is falling apart.
4
Remove and discard the ham bone; stir in coconut milk into the mixture, then continue cooking on Low until the coconut milk is warmed through, approximately 30 minutes.
