Main Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Make the Roux: Melt the butter in a large pot and gradually stir in the flour to create a smooth paste. Keep the heat low and stir constantly to avoid burning. This step is crucial for developing rich flavors!

    🍳 Pro Tip: Patience is key! A well-made roux should achieve a golden-brown color, which adds depth to the soup.

  2. Combine Ingredients: Add the water, chopped tomatoes, and finely sliced okra to the roux. Cook slowly for about 1 hour, allowing the flavors to meld.

    ⏱️ Time Check: Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and to build that rich gumbo base.

  3. Add the Seafood: Gently fold in the crab meat, oysters, boned and skinned fish, and de-veined shrimp.

  4. Final Cooking: Allow the mixture to cook for an additional 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with Cajun blend, salt, and pepper to taste.

  5. Serve: Spoon the gumbo into bowls and add a scoop of steamed rice to each portion for that perfect touch.

    🍚 Serving Suggestion: Garnish with fresh herbs or scallions for an extra pop of freshness!
