Gumbo 🍛🦐🐓 This is soul food at its finest! I’ve made gumbo a couple of years back and instantly fell in love with it. There is just something so innately comforting and soothing when it comes to stews and this is one of the best ones you can make! Ingredients: Meats: - 5pcs chicken thigh fillet, skin on - 1 kg fresh prawns - 3 pcs Andouille sausage (or any smoked sausage), sliced Veg: - 1 large onion, diced - 1 bellpepper, diced - 4 stalks celery, diced - 8 cloves garlic, minced - 5 dried Bay leaves - 1 sprig Thyme Others: - Vegetable oil - Flour - Cajun/creole seasoning - 🍺 of choice (preferably amber style) - 4 cups chicken stock - 4 cups shrimp stock (from shrimp shells) - Salt & pepper to taste Instructions: - Sear your seasoned chicken thighs on high heat until skin turns crispy and golden. Set aside and in the same pan add about 1/2 cup oil and 1/2 cup flour to make a roux. You want to cook this over low heat until it turns into a dark amber color. - Add your onions, peppers, celery and garlic to your roux and saute until onions are translucent. Add in your 🍺 and cook off until alc eveporates. - Add in your prepared shrimp and chicken stock and cook for 30 mins until sauce thickens. - Add in back in your chicken along with your sausages and season with your preferred cajun/creole seasoning along with your thyme and bay leaves. Cook on low for around 1 1/2 hrs. - Add your peeled and deveined shrimp at the end so it doesn’t get tough and cook for another 10mins. - Serve piping hot with rice and enjoy! ❤️ #gumbo #cajun #creole #soulfood #seafoodgumbo #neworleansfood #louisiana #stew #cookingasmr #asmr
