Ingredients

1/3 pound butter
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
4 chicken breasts
5 tablespoons olive oil
4 tablespoons minced fresh garlic
3 tablespoons your favorite spice mix
2 stalks celery, finely diced
1 yellow onion, finely diced
1 red pepper, finely diced
14 cups chicken stock
1 1/2 pounds andouille sausage, diced
2 cups fresh or frozen sliced okra
1 cup sliced green onions
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
3 tablespoons hot sauce, such as Frank's Louisiana Hot Sauce
3 tablespoons salt
3 tablespoons spice mix
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
3 bay leaves
8 ounces peeled and deveined shrimp
White rice, for serving

Steps:

First, get the roux started, it will take about 20 minutes to cook. Melt the butter in a heavy skillet over medium-low heat. Add the flour and stir often, cooking until the roux becomes a dark chocolate color.
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Meanwhile, toss the chicken breasts in 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons minced garlic and 1 tablespoons spice mix. Grill the chicken until cooked through, taking care not to overcook and dry out the meat. Cool, dice and set aside.
In a large stockpot, saute the celery, onions, red pepper and the remaining 2 tablespoons garlic in the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the chicken stock, sausage, okra, green onions, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, salt, spice mix, tomato paste, black pepper and bay leaves and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 30 minutes. Add the roux and simmer 5 more minutes, stirring gently. Taste for seasonings and adjust. Add the shrimp just before serving, heating just until the shrimp are cooked through. Serve over white rice.

This gumbo is a bit too spicy for me, but I still enjoyed it. The flavors were great and the chicken was cooked perfectly. I would definitely make this again, but I would use less cayenne pepper next time.
