Gumbo with pictures! 1

I absolutely love gumbo. I've made it from scratch a few times and I've ordered it from a restaurant a few times as well. It's an amazing concoction with mind blowing flavors.
As of late I've been itching to whip up another pot, so tomorrow, I will!
There's a few decent recipes online which I'll probably follow, but if there are any chefs floating around, please, by all means, throw in some suggestions.

Get fresh seafood. I like fresh Argentine shrimp. They are usually very nice but also fairly affordable.

Lol.
I've made all 3 plenty of times. I am a soup man. I love soup! A hearty bowl of chili is soul cleansing too.
I snap a couple pics tomorrow. Working on an ingredient list now.

I've only had gumbo a handful of times, all from restaurants. Fucking delicious the few times I had it though. The best was at a place in Santa Cruz. I'd be interested to try some down south somewhere like New Orleans.

If you live near streams or rivers you should spend some time trapping crawdads. Now is the hight of the season in most places (USA at least).

I finally started it this morning and am currently in the process.
Onion, green bell peppers, celery, and minced garlic.
I needed bacon grease.. best part is snacking on the bacon while cooking up this gumbo.
Andoullie Sauasge
The roux. (Most important part of the gumbo)
All the veggies and sausage mixed into the roux.

I just added sugar, salt, Cajun seasoning, pepper sauce, thyme, bay leaves, and okra simmered in bacon grease and vinegar.

Alright. That's it! I added the 2lbs of shrimp, 1lb of real crab meat (fuck the imatation shit) and worstshiresauce. Now it just needs to simmer for a few hours and let all the flavors do its thing.
Imagine if you invited the world's 20 most beautiful, sexy, and attractive people, gave them all some clean ass MDMA and a drip of lsd, and put them into a room with a GIANT mattress.
Well, that's what's happening in my pot right now.

My mom was a Cajun from Sulphur, Louisiana. There is no Gumbo like hers. I've ordered in restaurants and it's just damn shrimp or chicken soup.
She taught my wife to make it before she passed, there is no other like it, authentic Cajun family recipe.

The gumbo was AMAZING! And was even better tonight after the overnight gang bang.
