Ingredients for Seafood Gumbo 2 lbs. shrimp 2 large onions 1 lbs. smoked sausage 1 lbs. hot sausage 2 large bell peppers 2 lbs. crabmeat 1 stalk celery 1 lbs. oysters 6 cloves garlic (minced) 2 lbs. chicken/turkey parts (necks, wings, breast or carcass) bunches green onions Parsley (to taste) 3 tbs. Gumbo file or 1 lb. Okra red pepper/hot sauce(to taste) Seasonings 2 tbs. Paprika 2 tbs. Salt 1 tbs. Cayenne pepper 1 tbs. Black pepper 1 tbs. Dried oregano 1 tbs. Dried thyme 2 bay leaves, crumbled The first step is to prepare all the ingredients so they are readily available for when you need them. I usually put the vegetables in a small bowl once chopped. Keep the bell pepper, onions and celery together in the same bowl. Keep the green onions and the okra in separate bowls by themselves as well. The shrimp should be peeled before the cooking process begins or if there is someone to help,while you prepare the roux. Today's Date and Time are Last Updated By
