Crockpot Cajun Seafood Gumbo Recipe
I adore using a crockpot for cooking, but I’m not sure why I never considered using one for my favorite recipe, Cajun Seafood Gumbo. I had to attempt the Crockpot Cajun Seafood Gumbo recipe that I saw on YouTube since I adore gumbo and anything seafood, and I also adore my Crockpot, so it was like pie in heaven for me. There is no need for pre-cooking as I simply placed all of these ingredients into the crockpot for an incredibly simple dish.
INGREDIENTS
- One big onion
- a single bell pepper
- Three sausages
- four celery stalks, roughly sliced
- Five finely chopped cloves of garlic
- One-half tsp Kosher salt
- Four Bay Leaves
- Two cups of water
- and two cups of chicken broth.
- One pound of uncooked, peeled, deveined shrimp
- One pound of skinless, boneless chicken thighs
- One pound of crab claws
- Half a pound finely chopped okra
- Two tablespoons. Creole A blow from Smoky Joe
- Six to seven fresh thyme sprigs
- Hunts Fire Roasted Tomatoes, two cans
Instructions
- To make the Seafood Gumbo, first make a Roux in a cast-iron skillet using flour and oil. Finally, add the onion, celery, and bell pepper.
- After that, I put my cooked roux in the crockpot with everything else, excluding the seafood, and cooked it for four hours on high.
- After it was finished, I added the shrimp and crab claws and cooked it for a further half hour.
- If you don’t have seafood, you can substitute chicken and sausage for the shellfish in this delectable seafood gumbo recipe. The foundation of this recipe is gumbo made with chicken and sausage, which is also quite tasty.
