Sprinkle salt on shrimp and place aside in bowl. Make a dark roux of flour and oil in a large Dutch oven. Place onions, peppers, and celery in blender and puree. Combine all ingredients except shrimp, parsley and butter in the Dutch oven. Bring to boil and simmer for 2 hours. Add shrimp, parsley and butter to gumbo for the final 20 minutes.

Personal Notes:
This gumbo is worth the extra effort, time, and ingredients. Reheating only makes it better!

For a "chunkier" version, saute the chopped pepper, onion, and celery in butter. I don't mix the rice and gumbo until serving. The rice will thicken the soup too much for my taste. And the gumbo freezes well without the rice.
