Directions

Prep 20 minCook 60 min

1
Cook the rice according to package directions; keep warm.
2
In a large heavy skillet or Dutch oven over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour and cook, stirring constantly, until the roux turns a deep caramel brown, about 10 minutes.
3
Add the onion, bell pepper, and celery; cook, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and andouille; cook until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Season with Cajun seasoning, a pinch of salt, and black pepper.
4
Stir in the bay leaf, diced tomatoes, and chicken broth. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce to low and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until thickened and flavorful, about 45 to 60 minutes.
5
Add the shrimp during the last 10 minutes of simmering and cook just until pink and opaque. Remove the bay leaf, stir in most of the scallions, and taste; adjust salt and pepper as needed.
6
Ladle the gumbo over bowls of warm rice and garnish with the remaining scallions.
