Warm comforting gumbo filled with andouille sausage, chicken, and shrimp. This chicken sausage gumbo with shrimp is delicious and perfect for a cozy meal.
Ingredients
½ cup vegetable oil
½ cup all purpose flour
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 green bell pepper, sliced
2 celery sticks, chopped
5 cloves of garlic, minced
1 medium onion, diced
1 – 14 oz can diced tomatoes
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon dried thyme
1 tablespoon dried basil
1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon cayenne powder
6 cups chicken or vegetable broth
3 andouille sausage, chopped
¾ pound chicken thigh
½ pound fresh okra
a dozen prawns
6 servings rice
Directions:
In a large pot, preferably a Dutch oven, whisk together vegetable oil and flour over low to medium heat and cook until the mixture turns golden brown, about 15-20 minutes.
Add bell peppers, onions, garlic, celery, tomatoes, oregano, thyme, basil, Creole seasoning, chili powder, cayenne, and a pinch of salt and pepper. The roux will cover all the vegetables. Cook the veggies for about 5 minutes until they’re soft and tender.
Pour in the broth. Then add the sausage and chicken to the pot. Bring the gumbo to a boil and reduce the heat. Add the okra and let the gumbo simmer, covered, for at least 3 hours or at least until the chicken has fallen apart.
When about ready to serve, add shrimp to the gumbo. Cook for a few minutes until the shrimp has turned from a greyish color to a reddish orange.
Serve the chicken sausage gumbo with shrimp warm over rice.
