Prepare
- Dice 1 large sweet onion
- 6 clove garlic, smashed

- 1 lb andouille sausage, cut into 1/4-inch slices
- 4 scallions, finely minced
- 3/4 lbs large shrimp, peeled and deveined
Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Heat the vegetable oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Season the boneless chicken lightly with salt and pepper, then add to the wok and brown for about 3 minutes, turning once. Remove the chicken from the wok and set aside.
-
Step 2.
Melt the butter in the wok over medium heat. Stir in the all-purpose flour and cook, stirring constantly, until the roux turns a reddish-brown color, about 10 minutes. Be careful not to burn it.
-
Step 3.
Add the diced onion, smashed garlic, chopped green bell pepper, and diced celery to the roux. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
-
Step 4.
Return the browned chicken to the wok. Add the chicken stock, Worcestershire sauce, sliced andouille sausage, okra, minced scallions, crushed tomatoes, bay leaves, and cayenne pepper. Stir to combine.
-
Step 5.
Reduce the heat to medium, cover the wok, and let the gumbo simmer for 2½ hours, stirring occasionally. While the gumbo simmers, you can prepare the steamed rice and set out the lemon wedges, hot sauce, and chopped parsley.
-
Step 6.
Just before serving, add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the gumbo. Stir and cook until the shrimp are pink and cooked through, about 8 minutes. Remove and discard the bay leaves.
-
Step 7.
Serve the gumbo over steamed rice, with lemon wedges, hot sauce, and chopped parsley on the side.
