Ingredients:
  • 4 Tbsp. unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 small yellow onion, chopped
  • 1 medium green bell pepper, chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, finely sliced
  • 12 oz. andouille sausage, sliced into 1/2" rounds
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 Tbsp. salt-free Cajun seasoning
  • Kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 (15-oz.) can fire-roasted diced tomatoes
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 lb. medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 3 scallions, sliced (reserve some for garnish)
  • Cooked white rice, for serving
Directions:

  1. Make the Roux:
    In a large, deep skillet over medium-low heat, melt the butter, then whisk in the flour. Cook, stirring constantly, until the roux turns a deep caramel color, about 12-15 minutes.
  2. Build the Flavor:
    Add the onion, bell pepper, and celery. Sauté until softened, about 8 minutes. Stir in the sausage, garlic, and Cajun seasoning. Season with salt and pepper. Pour in the broth, tomatoes, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 1 hour.
  3. Add the Shrimp:
    In the last 6 minutes of cooking, stir in the shrimp. Let them cook until pink and opaque. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Stir in scallions, reserving some for garnish.
  4. Serve & Enjoy:
    Spoon cooked rice into bowls and ladle the gumbo over the top. Garnish with the reserved scallions and serve hot.
