Ingredients:
- 2/3 cup. bacon drippings - can use oil in place of bacon drippings
- 3 ribs celery, chopped
- 1/4 lrg bell pepper, chopped
- worcestshire sauce (matter of taste. . .i use a 1 tsp.)
- 6 raw crabs , cleaned (**i use dungeness. . . use a lrg crab in your area. can be blue crab or whatever offered but needs to be meaty)
- shell the crabs but leave the large front crab legs in tact. break into sections at the joints to be dropped into the gumbo when ready
- small bunch of parsley, chopped (i prefer about 1/8 cup. chopped )
- 2 lb of scallops (**note : can use manila or cherrystone clams in place of scallops. i alternate or sometimes add both scallops and clams.)
- cooked rice - whatever type you personally enjoy - this gumbo goes over the rice.
Directions:
- In skillet make roux using bacon grease or oil and flour. Cook until it is chocolate brown color. Add chopped vegetables and stir until wilted. Transfer to a large gumbo pot (I use a large stew kettle. . .key word - large.) Add water and bring to a boil. Add seasonings, and tomato sauce. Boil for approximately 1 hour. Add crab leg sections and parsley, continue boiling for about 20 minutes. Add Shrimp, crab meat and Scallops 2-3 minutes after adding the crab leg sections. Serve over hot fluffy rice in large soup, or if you have them, gumbo bowls.
- **Note: File powder comes from the south, if you are not a southerner- you may not know this, and if you have some available then sprinkle a little on top of the gumbo just before serving.
