Method

  1. Season the shrimp

    • Pat the shrimp dry and place them in a bowl.
    • Season generously with Creole seasoning, onion powder, black pepper, garlic powder and paprika, then toss to coat.

  2. Sear the shrimp

    • Heat a little oil in a pan over high heat.
    • Sear the shrimp briefly on both sides, just until they start to color, then set aside with the pan drippings.
    Step 2

  3. Make the roux

    • Melt the butter with the vegetable oil in a heavy pot.
    • Whisk in the flour and cook, stirring constantly, until the roux is dark brown and smells nutty.

  4. Add the holy trinity

    • Stir the diced onion, bell peppers and celery into the roux.
    • Add the minced garlic and cook until the vegetables soften.
    Step 4

  5. Build the broth

    • Dissolve the chicken bouillon cubes in the water.
    • Pour the broth into the pot and stir well, scraping the bottom.
    • Season heavily with Creole seasoning and bring to a simmer.
    Step 5

  6. Simmer the gumbo

    • Lower the heat and simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the gumbo thickens and the flavors meld.
    Step 6

  7. Finish with the shrimp

    • Add the seared shrimp and their pan juices to the gumbo.
    • Simmer just until the shrimp are cooked through, then taste and adjust the seasoning.
