Shrimp and Sausage Gumbo

INGREDIENTS:

4 tbsp. butter

1/4 cup all-propose flour

1 small yellow onion and green pepper chopped fine

2 celery stalks chopped

2 cloves garlic minced

1-pound andouille sausage sliced into small pieces

1 tbsp. Cajun seasoning, salt and pepper

1 bay leaf

1 bottle of amber beer

1 tbsp. of Worcestershire

1 large can diced tomatoes

4 cups chicken broth

1 1/2 pounds of medium shrimp

3 green onions diced

 

DIRECTIONS:

•         In a large pot on medium-low heat melt butter and stir in flour. Cook, stirring constantly, until dark caramel colored (about 10-minutes). Add onions, peppers and celery–stir until softened (about 5 minutes more). Add the bottle of beer, garlic and sausage, then season with Cajun seasoning, salt and pepper. Stir in bay leaf, diced tomatoes, Worcestershire and chicken broth.

•          Let simmer on low for one hour stirring every so often.

•         Add shrimp at the very end. They only need three to five minutes to cook and you are ready. Garnish with the green onions.

Enjoy!
