Seafood Gumbo

What You Do:

How to make a Roux-

Usually people say half flour and half oil – I say ¼ less oil to flour – 1 cup of flour to ¾ cup of oil
Before you start – chop 1 cup of onions, 1 cup celery, ½ cup of green bell pepper & 4 garlic cloves
In a heavy iron pot, mix flour and oil on a low heat. Once flour & oil are mixed thoroughly turn up heat to medium. (Remember if you burn the roux you have to start over)
Cook until the roux is medium to dark brown (looks like milk chocolate to a dark chocolate brown) This is a personal thing but the darker the roux the more intense the flavor.
Once the roux is the color you desire remove from heat and add all the vegetables immediately – this will stop the roux from cooking you must continue to stir until you feel the cooking process has stopped. Once the roux has stopped cooking add your warm stock – vegetable,seafood, chicken or beef

When boiling crawfish, shrimp or crabs the only extra ingredients to enhance the flavor of your seafood would be celery, onions, garlic, lemons and oranges. These are friendly ingredients that do not rob the flavor of your boil or have any bearing on the taste of your Authentic Louisiana Seafood.

Conversely if you add potatoes, corn, wieners, sausage or mushrooms these will directly effect your seafood seasoning. We call them season robbers!! Some folks think you should boil them in separate pot which is not a badidea. Others boil them in the seasoned water first. Whether you boil them in the same pot or not always drop the potatoes & onions first & when they are almost done re-season your water with @ least 3/4s more seasoning then add all your other stuff plus your crawfish & boil as usual. This will ensure your crawfish get the right dose of spices& your potatoes, onions etc will get seasoned perfectly.
