Ingredients:

Directions:

  3. Heat the oil on high heat until the pan is smoking hot, carefully whisk in the flour and reduce the heat.
  4. Stir constantly to prevent scorching.
  5. Stir the mixture constantly for 30-45 minutes or until a dark brown color and nutty aroma develops.
  6. Remove from heat for a few minutes before adding the garlic to prevent burning.
  7. Fry garlic in this roux.
  8. Add onions and cook for 10 minutes.
  9. Add celery, bell pepper, black pepper, salt, Tabasco sauce, and Worcestershire sauce.
  10. Cook vegetables and then add three quarts of fish stock (recipe below).
  11. Allow the liquid to come to a boil and simmer while preparing the shrimp, crab and oysters/steamers.

  13. Old Bay seasoning, precook the shrimp in a little boiling water.
  14. Drain, cool and peel the shrimp.
  15. Again, using the fish bouillon and Old Bay, bring the oysters to a boil in water until they just curl.
  16. Drain and cool.
  17. If using steamers (clams) instead of oysters, using the same procedure and seasonings, steam the clams, then shuck and clean before adding to the final boil.
  18. After cleaning the lump crab for any odd shell fragments, add crab the meat and cook for another ten minutes.
  19. Add parsley and chopped green onion and cook for another 10 minutes.

  25. Add salt to taste and simmer for 20-30 minutes.
  26. Strain the stock before using.
