    Shrimp Gumbo

    This hearty stew is a flavorful patchwork of history, heritage, and delectable culinary craft, steeped in the essence of Creole and Cajun traditions. Combining succulent shrimp, a trinity of aromatics, and a roux that’s nothing short of artistry, gumbo is both a comfort food and a palate pleaser.

    Beyond the savory bowl of shrimp gumbo itself, thoughtful food pairings can elevate the dining experience. For a refreshing counterbalance, consider a crisp, Apple Kale and Cabbage Salad or a Radish and Cucumber Salad, adding a touch of brightness to the hearty meal.

    Ingredients

    Serves: 3 Prep Time: 5 minutes Cook Time: 55 minutes

    • ¼ cup cooking fat
    • 1 large onion, chopped
    • 1 medium green bell pepper, cut into strips
    • 2 cloves garlic, minced
    • 3 cups dark beef stock
    • ½ teaspoon hot sauce
    • 1 bay leaf
    • 3 chopped tomatoes
    • 1 can (6 oz) tomato paste
    • 1 ½ lbs raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
    • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

    How to Make Shrimp Gumbo

    In a pot, heat the cooking fat over a medium heat and cook the onions, green bell peppers and garlic for about 5 minutes, until the onions are soft.

    Stir in the stock, hot sauce, bay leaf, tomatoes and tomato paste, season to taste and simmer for 45 minutes, uncovered.

    Add the shrimp and simmer for another 5 minutes, covered.
