Savory Shrimp and Sausage Gumbo Recipe

Directions:

1. In a large pot (preferrably a stock pot) melt butter, then when butter is melted, add flour and stir until golden in color.
2. Add in fresh vegetables and thyme and stir until vegetables are coated with flour.
3. Add chicken broth, tomatoes, chilies, and bay leaf.
4. Let simmer until veggies become fork tender (about 10 minutes).
5. Add in sliced sausage and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
6. Add shrimp and cook until shrimp is pink (about 2 minutes).
7. Remove from heat and add salt and pepper to taste.
8. Serve over white rice. This tastes exceptionally good over Jasmine rice too!
