  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped

Instructions

  • In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Gradually stir in the flour, cooking and stirring constantly to make a roux. Continue to cook until the roux is dark brown, about 10-15 minutes.

  • Add the sausage and okra to the pot. Simmer for an additional 15 minutes.
  • Stir in the shrimp, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce (if using). Cook until the shrimp are pink and cooked through, about 5 minutes.
  • Remove the bay leaves before serving. Garnish with chopped green onions.
  • Serve the gumbo over cooked white rice. Enjoy!

Notes

For a richer flavor, use homemade chicken broth and adjust the spices to your preference.
