CHICKEN, SHRIMP, AND SAUSAGE GUMBO

Steps:

• In large skillet brown both sausages on medium-low heat. Set aside till later. You may need to do this in batches.
• In small sauce pan add water and shrimp shells and simmer for 20 minutes covered. Remove from heat and let sit for another 20 minutes, covered. Strain stock and reserve for later.
• Season chicken and shrimp with 2-3 tablespoons of creole seasoning and set aside.
• To make the roux:.
• In 12 quart heavy bottom stock pot, heat oil over medium/medium low heat. Add the flour all at once and stir constantly with wooden spoon until it turns to a dark chocolate color. (approximately 20-30 min.) Do not rush this by turning up the heat, It will burn very quickly, not to mention it might splatter and this stuff is like napalm if it gets on your skin.
• Add the onion, green bell pepper, celery, garlic and continue the constant stirring. Cook until they soften (5-10 minutes). This will look like a very thick paste.
• Add the bay leaves, and stir in the tomato paste and cook for a couple of minutes.
• Pour the chicken stock and reserved shrimp stock in and stir till the paste (roux) is combined.
• Put the sausage, the rest of the creole seasoning,and the cayenne in and raise the heat to bring to a soft boil. For about 10 Minutes.
• Reduce heat to a simmer, add uncooked chicken and cover. Simmer for 30 minutes.
• Now check the consistency. You can always add a little water or broth if necessary.
• Simmer for another 15-20 minutes.
• Add the shrimp and stir. The shrimp will cook very quickly. As soon as they turn pink you're ready to serve.
• To serve:.
• Place a pressed scoop of rice in the middle of your bowl (I like to use an ice cream type scoop, that way it stays rounded and centered in the bowl) and ladle the gumbo around and over the top of the rice.
• Sprinkle some scallions on top and serve with the file powder on the side.
• Enjoy!

SARASOTA'S CROCK POT CHICKEN, SAUSAGE AND SHRIMP

Steps:

• Chicken -- Bring your chicken to room temp - just not right out of the refrigerator (you don't want the chicken ice cold). Rub the chicken pieces well with salt and pepper. Then, in a large saute pan, add the butter and bring to medium high heat and sear the chicken. Don't over crowd the pan, do it in two batches so you can a nice sear on both sides on the chicken.
• Crock Pot -- Remove the chicken to a plate. But before you get rid of those good bits of the bottom of the pan, deglaze with 1/4 cup of the white wine, scrape all the bits up and pour the wine and bits and any leftover butter in the pan into the bottom of the crock pot. Then add the chicken to the crock pot along with the sausage, onions, and peppers.
• Mix the seasoning, red pepper flakes, garlic, tomato sauce and the remaining wine together and pour over the top of the vegetables and chicken. Don't season with extra salt and pepper right away. You can taste to see if it needs anymore when you add the shrimp in later.
• Cook -- 5-7 hours on low until the juices run clear. My larger pot takes about 6 hours as I like the chicken very tender. I have never cooked this on high so I can't give you an accurate time for this, and remember - different crock pot sizes as well as older vs newer models seem to really vary in cooking times. I would start with 6 hours and check, I would think that should accurately cook the chicken.
• Shrimp -- The last 30 minutes before serving, stir in the shrimp. Don't just add them on top, stir them in a bit so they get down in all that good sauce.Also, now is the time to check for salt and pepper seasoning. Adjust the seasoning accordingly. Cook the shrimp them until they turn pink and just begin to curl. They will take between 20-30 minutes, again depending on the size of your crock pot.
• Serve -- Whether you use polenta or rice, the sauce is great! Don't let that go to waste. ENJOY!
