Directions:
- Make a roux with the flour and butter by heating the butter and stirring in the flour.
- On medium low cook the roux until it turns a rich chocolate brown. This will take awhile, maybe 45 minutes to get it right. You don't want it to burn or you can't use it.
- Keep an eye on it but you don't have to stand over the pot the whole time.
- When roux is ready:.
- Add all of the veggies and cook until tender.
- Stir in the water slowly. When combined with the roux add the parsley, shrimp and seasonings. Cook another 15-20 minutes or until shrimp are done, they will turn pink or red when done. Remove bay leaf. Taste seasonings-you may need to add salt.
- Serve over hot cooked rice. Now this is when you add a pinch or two of gumbo filet'. You may want to add a splash of Louisiana hot sauce too. I always do. Gumbo filet' is actually sassafras root or bark. I was taught that it is added to your plate and not cooked in with the food.
- I always serve this dish with garlic bread and sweet green peas on the side but that is up to you.
