My dad taught me how to make this gumbo.
Ingredients
2 pounds shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 cup all purpose flour
1 cup oil
1 gallon water
Tony Cachere's Seasoning
Directions
First you make a roux..
Put oil and flour in a heavy pot. Cook on medium heat, stirring
constantly until roux is color of dark peanut butter.
Add about a gallon of water. Stir until water and roux are mixed
and water begins to boil. Let the Gumbo cook at a slow boil for
about a half hour to 45 minutes. Add shrimp and cook another
15 to 20 minutes. Put in a bowl with rice and enjoy...
especially on a cold day!
