SHRIMP GUMBO
This spicy Cajun gumbo, a stew originating in Louisiana in the 18th century, gains much of its flavor from the dark roux and its characteristic thickness from file, an herb made from the ground leaves of the sassafras tree. Onions, celery and green peppers, the "holy trinity" of both Creole and Cajun cooking, add flavor and substance to the thick shrimp and sausage stew, which is served over a heaping portion of white rice.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Place the vegetable oil and flour into a 5 to 6-quart cast iron Dutch oven and whisk together to combine. Place on the middle shelf of the oven, uncovered, and bake for 1 1/2 hours, whisking 2 to 3 times throughout the cooking process.
- While the roux is baking, de-head, peel and devein the shrimp. Place the shrimp in a bowl and set in the refrigerator. Place the heads and shells in a 4-quart saucepan along with the 2 quarts of water, set over high heat and bring to a boil. Decrease the heat to low and simmer for 1 hour or until the liquid has reduced to 1-quart. Remove from the heat and strain the liquid into a container, discarding the solids.
- Once the roux is done, carefully remove it from the oven and set over medium-high heat. Gently add the onions, celery, green peppers and garlic and cook, moving constantly for 7 to 8 minutes or until the onions begin to turn translucent. Add the tomatoes, salt, black pepper, thyme, cayenne pepper, and bay leaves and stir to combine. Gradually add the shrimp broth while whisking continually. Decrease the heat to low, cover and cook for 35 minutes. Turn off the heat, add the shrimp and sausage and stir to combine. Add the file powder while stirring constantly. Cover and allow to sit for 10 minutes prior to serving. Serve over rice.
CAJUN BAKED ROUX
With horror many cooks read the words "first make a roux". Here is a method to take the fear of making a roux away. The recipe is taken from "Quelque Chose Piquante" a Cajun cookbook from Baton Rouge, LA first published in 1966.

This makes a lovely brown roux. It makes a lot, but it will freeze. I divide it up and always have a roux ready and waiting for gumbo or anything else. Freeze in small amounts.

BASIC ROUX
I do not like the taste of flour that has not been properly cooked, I find it is gritty tasting. This is a two ingredient thickener for gravies and sauces. I always keep this in the freezer and just break off the amount I need. Works in any recipe that needs thickening with no risk of lumps. Please ignore the serving size, this site insists on it.

BASIC ROUX
This is an adopted recipe and I will submit any revisions should they be needed once I make this. Make a large batch of roux and keep it refrigerated or frozen. Refrigerated or frozen roux will keep well for up to two months and can be added in its cooled form directly to your soups or sauces for a little quick, thick pick-me-up! It is advisable to add cold roux to a hot sauce or soup.

Steps:
- To make a basic roux start by measuring, by weight, the amounts of fat and flour desired.
- It's a one to one ratio (e. g. 4 ounces of fat and 4 ounces of flour equal 8 ounces of roux).
- Butter is the most commonly used form of fat.
- Melt the butter over medium heat, careful not to start browning it, then slowly add the flour to the butter, whisking constantly.
- Within 2 to 3 minutes the roux will have a consistency of a cake frosting.
- Both fat and flour have various levels of moisture content and the possible choices of fat and flour that can be used are many.
- For example, butter contains a small amount of water.
- However, bacon fat, which has been perfectly rendered, contains no water.
- Within these variables there are varying levels of consistencies.
- If your roux is too thin, add a small amount of flour.
- If it is too thick, add a small amount of fat to thin it out.
- When cooking with a roux, be sure to add only cool liquids or ingredients to a hot roux, or vice versa.
- As you incorporate the liquid into your roux, be sure to whisk frequently and add the ingredients slowly.
- Then heat the entire mixture until it comes to a simmer.
- This process will keep the roux from creating lumps.
- Once all of the liquid has been added to the roux, cook the sauce or soup for at least 20 minutes, otherwise your finished product may have a granular or gummy texture.
