We were excited to get this recipe. How nice to put the gumbo to cook in a crockpot before leaving for work or shopping and come home from work and have gumbo ready to eat. Great for Working America - Working Cajuns! This gumbo can be served as a side to a main dish or can be the main dish!

3 tbsp flour 3 tbsp oil
1 pound andouille sausage chopped 2 cups frozen okra
1 onion chopped 2 medium bell pepper chopped
6 celery ribs chopped 3 garlic cloves chopped
1/4 tsp thyme 2 large bayleaves
1/4 tsp white pepper** 1 can 14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes undrained
4 cups Fish stock or water 1 pound fresh lump crabmeat
1 package frozen crawfish* (8 to 12 ounces) 1 pint drained oysters
1 1/2 cup uncooked white or brown rice 3 cups water for rice

To Make Roux:
In a small saucepan combine flour and oil; mix well. Cook stirring constantly over medium high heat for 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium; cook stirring constantly approximately 10 minutes or until mixture turns reddish brown.

To Make Gumbo:
Place flour oil mixture in 4 quart Crockpot. Stir in sausage, okra, onion, bell pepper, celery, garlic, thyme, bay leaves, tomatoes, and fish stock. Cover and cook on low for 7 to– 8.5 hours. Add crabmeat, crawfish, and oysters to the Crockpot. Cover and cook on low for an additional 30 minutes.

To Make Rice:
Put water for rice in a pot on high. Once it is boiling add rice. Follow cook times on the package of rice.
Serve Gumbo over rice

*This recipe was originally created for someone who was allergic to shrimp but not other seafood. Therefore, you can substitute shrimp for the crawfish or add 1 package of frozen shrimp to the recipe if desired. The shrimp will be added to the Crockpot at the same time as the crawfish.

** If desired 2 tablespoons of gumbo file may be added to the recipe with the other seasonings.
