Gumbo is very easy to make.
Start with the trinity, sauté in olive oil/butter mix. Stir in flour and stir constantly until you have a peanut butter colored rue.
Add shrimp stock, a bay leaf, salt, pepper, garlic, and cayenne pepper. I like to add a couple tablespoons of vinegar here also. Add your Andouille and okra and cook for about 30 minutes. It should be thickening. Finally, add your shrimp and any other seafood like crab legs, scallops, chunks of fish, etc. and cook for about 10 minutes to cooked through.
Serve over rice or in a nice bread bowl
