Shrimp, Sausage, and Chicken Gumbo Recipe

Ingredients

• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 cups chopped onions
• 2 cups chopped green bell pepper
• 6 cloves garlic, chopped
• 2 teaspoons dried thyme
• 2 bay leaves
• 1 pound Italian sausage
• 3 (14.5 ounce) cans diced tomatoes with juice
• 1 pound cooked, shredded chicken
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1.5 cups spicy tomato-vegetable juice cocktail (such as V8®)
• 4 teaspoons Creole seasoning
• 1 pound uncooked shrimp - peeled, deveined, and tails removed
• salt and ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

1. In a large, heavy pot over medium-low heat, cook and stir flour until it turns golden brown, approximately 15 minutes. Transfer the browned flour to a bowl and return the pot to the stovetop.
2. Increase heat to medium, add oil to the pot. Cook and stir onions and bell peppers in the hot oil until they soften slightly, around 7 minutes.
3. Incorporate garlic, thyme, and bay leaves into the onion mixture; cook and stir for 1 minute. Add sausage to the onion mixture, cooking and stirring until browned and crumbly, approximately 5 to 10 minutes.
4. Combine diced tomatoes with juice, shredded chicken, chicken broth, vegetable juice cocktail, browned flour, and Creole seasoning into the sausage mixture. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is hot and the flavors have melded, about 20 to 30 minutes.
5. Add shrimp to the sausage-chicken mixture and bring to a simmer. Cook the shrimp until they turn pink on the outside and are no longer transparent in the center, about 5 minutes.
6. Remove and discard bay leaves. Season the gumbo with salt and pepper to your liking.
