Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup vegetable oil 1 cup all-purpose flour 1 1/2 cups finely chopped onions 3/4 cup finely chopped green bell peppers 3/4 cup finely chopped celery 2 tablespoons finely chopped garlic 1 bottle (12 ounces) amber beer 6 cups Shrimp Stock, or low-sodium store-bought chicken broth 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme 2 bay leaves 1/2 pound gumbo crabs or uncooked or frozen blue crabs, defrosted (about 2) 2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce 1 tablespoon coarse salt 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper 1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined 1 pound white fish fillets, such as catfish, grouper, snapper, or sole 1 tablespoon Emeril’s Original Essence 2 cups shucked oysters with their liquor 1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley 1/2 cup chopped tender scallion tops File powder, for garnish Cooked white rice, for serving

Directions

Place an 8-quart stockpot over medium heat; add oil. When oil is hot, and add flour. Using a wooden spoon, stir oil and flour together to form a roux, and cook until it becomes the color of milk chocolate, 20 to 25 minutes. Add onions, bell peppers, and celery; stir until well combined, about 5 minutes. Add garlic, cook for 30 seconds. Add beer and shrimp stock; season with thyme, bay leaves, crabs, Worcestershire, salt, and cayenne. Bring gumbo to a boil, and immediately reduce heat to a simmer. Let gumbo cook, simmering, about 1 hour, skimming surface occasionally.

Season shrimp and fish fillets with Emeril’s Essence. Add to gumbo and stir to combine; cook for 2 minutes. Add oysters, and cook, stirring often, about 5 minutes.

Serve gumbo garnished with parsley, scallion tops, and file powder in shallow bowls over white rice.

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       03/13/2013   The gumbo recipe looks fine but Emeril needs to cook the roux more, way too light. Just sayen.
