Time 3h30m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 ounces vegetable oil
4 ounces all-purpose flour
1 1/2 lbs medium shrimp (raw, whole, head-on, 31-50 count)
2 quarts water
1 cup diced onion
1/2 cup diced celery
1/2 cup diced green pepper
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1/2 cup peeled seeded and chopped tomato
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 bay leaves
1/2 lb andouille sausage, cut into 1/4-inch pieces and browned
1 tablespoon file powder

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Place the vegetable oil and flour into a 5 to 6-quart cast iron Dutch oven and whisk together to combine. Place on the middle shelf of the oven, uncovered, and bake for 1 1/2 hours, whisking 2 to 3 times throughout the cooking process.
  • While the roux is baking, de-head, peel and devein the shrimp. Place the shrimp in a bowl and set in the refrigerator. Place the heads and shells in a 4-quart saucepan along with the 2 quarts of water, set over high heat and bring to a boil. Decrease the heat to low and simmer for 1 hour or until the liquid has reduced to 1-quart. Remove from the heat and strain the liquid into a container, discarding the solids.
  • Once the roux is done, carefully remove it from the oven and set over medium-high heat. Gently add the onions, celery, green peppers and garlic and cook, moving constantly for 7 to 8 minutes or until the onions begin to turn translucent. Add the tomatoes, salt, black pepper, thyme, cayenne pepper, and bay leaves and stir to combine. Gradually add the shrimp broth while whisking continually. Decrease the heat to low, cover and cook for 35 minutes. Turn off the heat, add the shrimp and sausage and stir to combine. Add the file powder while stirring constantly. Cover and allow to sit for 10 minutes prior to serving. Serve over rice.

This shrimp gumbo is a great way to use up leftover shrimp. It's also a great dish to make ahead of time and freeze for later.

I'm not a big fan of okra, but I really enjoyed this shrimp gumbo. The okra was cooked perfectly and it didn't have that slimy texture that I usually associate with it.

I was disappointed with this shrimp gumbo. The roux was too dark and the shrimp were overcooked. I would not recommend this recipe.

This shrimp gumbo was a bit too spicy for my taste, but it was still very good. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper if you don't like spicy food.
