Directions:
Bring 1 gallon of water to boil-** with the bones/skin from smoked chicken along with the shells from the shrimp. Boil for about 1 hour or so. Boil the okra in a little oil and vinegar until the slim is gone. Make roue' - mix the 1 cup veg. oil and 1 cup flour. - put in microwave for 5 minutes. Continue in 1 minute intervals until the desired color is obtained. This will be very hot. Cook the sausage separately and drain on paper towel. In the drippings cook: 4 c. onions/2 tbsp. minced garlic/1 c. each green,yellow,red bell pepper - drain after tender. In a very large pot combine the meat - chicken & sausage with the onions/garlic/peppers. Strain the stock in to the pot - add roue' - Add: 4 tbsp. salt, 1 tbsp. black pepper, 1 tsp. garlic powder, 1 tbsp. Slap Ya Mamma Seasoning (yellow label) This should cook about 45 minutes. Then add: craw-fish tails, lump crab meat, shrimp, shallots, green onions , parsley, gumbo file, 3-4 bay leaves, 1 tbsp. kitchen bouquet (browning & seasonings) Simmer 5 minutes - Serve with rice.
In New Orleans they serve gumbo with yellow potato salad. Very time consuming - but very well worth it.
