Anybody Have a Good Seafood Gumbo Recipe?

I have used this one several times.

Shrimp and Crab Gumbo

I did a triple recipe in the video.

3/4 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup vegetable oil

Make roux (milk chocolate color)

Add 1-32oz container of Guidry's Creole chopped onion mix
Sauteed until the vegetables are soft...Add chopped garlic stir for a minute

Add (or not) 1-14.5 is can of chopped tomatoes and stir it into the roux

Add 1 lbs of frozen chopped okra...and water until it gets to the thickness you want.

Bring to a boil and add 2 lbs shrimp and 1 lbs of crab claw meat. Summer and stir for about an hour.

Add a pack of rinsed gumbo crabs and cook for an hour.

Season to taste. I used Tony's, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, LA Hot sauce.

Enjoy.

Dark Roux,
Add chopped vegetables and melt them down.
Add stock or water until you get a nice peanut butter colored gumbo the consistency you like. Let it cook for an hour or two. Add seasoning to taste
Add shrimp and crab fingers.

This but add oysters.

IMO, gumbo crabs are the key to a seafood gumbo. For my stock I use bay leaves, crabs, 1T Old Bay, 1T shrimp powder, and spice bag slow cooked over low heat, do not boil. Stock is strained and later added to roux for desired consistency. Add whatever seafood you like as I prefer shrimp, crabs, and oyster.

Lol, I'm so much of an a-hole, I'll put like 1/8 of a can of crushed tomatoes in my gumbo, just to piss people off. I even pick the pieces out if I come across them,

Seafood gumbo always taste better after sitting a day in the fridge. That's my contribution.
