6 chicken thighs - skinned and cooked, then cut into chunks |
4 - 6 'hot' beef sausage links - cooked and sliced diagonally |
12 oz or more - crab meat - you can use the imitation (less expensive), but of course the real thing is best |
20 - 30 shrimp - shelled and devined |
3 - 4 stalks celery, diced |
3 - 4 cloves garlic, diced |
1 medium onion - diced |
2 x 14 oz cans stewed tomatoes |
olive oil |
water |
gumbo file spice - use 1/2 ot 1 full package - to your taste, the more the spicer it is. this spice can be found on the hanging package section of the supermarket in the spices area. |
2 - 3 tblsp flour |
cooked rice - 1 cup per person |
Directions:
1. Boil chicken with garlic and celery in large pot
