Seafood Gumbo
Time: 90 minutes
This gumbo is built on a rich, dark roux and features premium seafood, including shrimp and sea scallops. A pescatarian option of using our Smoked Octopus instead of sausage, switches up a Creole classic to a totally-seafood experience.

PREPARATION
Step 1
In a heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat, whisk together oil and flour. Cook, stirring constantly, until it turns a deep brown color (about 15-20 minutes).
Step 2
Add onion, bell pepper, and celery. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook for another minute.
Step 3
Add tomatoes, seafood stock, smoked paprika, cayenne, thyme, bay leaves, and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a gentle simmer.
Step 4
Stir in andouille sausage and cook for 10 minutes.
Step 5
Add shrimp and scallops, cooking just until opaque (about 3-4 minutes).
Step 6
Stir in filé powder to thicken the gumbo slightly. Taste and adjust seasoning.
