Crockpot Gumbo Recipe With Sausage Chicken And Shrimp Food

CROCKPOT GUMBO WITH CHICKEN, SAUSAGE, AND SHRIMP

Steps:

• Make the roux by heating the flour and oil in a small saucepan or skillet over medium heat. Cook for 8-10 minutes, whisking constantly so that it doesn't burn. The mixture should turn a light reddish-brown. If it starts to get dark too quickly, reduce the heat to medium-low.
• Transfer the roux to the bottom of a slow cooker.
• Add the chicken, and then top with the sausage, tomatoes, onion, bell pepper, celery, garlic, bay leaf, Creole seasoning, paprika, thyme, oregano, and chicken broth.
• Cover and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours, on HIGH for 3-4 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
• Turn the slow cooker to the HIGH setting (if it's not already there), and stir in the shrimp. Cover and cook on HIGH for 15-20 more minutes (stirring twice), or until shrimp are pink.
• Discard the bay leaf. Remove the chicken from the pot. Chop or shred the meat, and then return the chicken to the pot. Stir in the green onions and parsley.
• Taste and season with salt and pepper, cayenne, or hot sauce. Serve over rice and garnish with additional chopped fresh parsley, if desired.

• Stir diced tomatoes with juice, shredded chicken, chicken broth, vegetable juice cocktail, browned flour, and Creole seasoning into sausage mixture. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer, stirring often, until mixture is hot and flavors blend, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Pour shrimp into sausage-chicken mixture; bring to a simmer. Cook shrimp until they are pink on the outside and the meat is no longer transparent in the center, about 5 minutes.

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!
