    It’s mostly an ingredients list, but then, gumbo is one of those kitchen sink recipes.

    Of note:

    • bacon first to render fat to help with the other meats and roux
    • slice and cook sausage enough to get some crust
    • cook chicken skin side down first (plus some seasoning on the back; do not fully cook, just building flavor)
    • chop things in between (throw shrimp shells and veggie scraps into small pot to build out broth)
    • before starting the roux (equal fat to flour at low/med heat), go to the bathroom, rest a moment, have something pleasant/familiar playing in the background, and grab a fresh beverage
    • drop temp and carefully dump veggies, then reset temp to med
    • drop in remaining bits, except for shrimp and simmer a few hours (make rice somewhere in this time)
    • add shrimp 5 minutes prior to serving

      Thanks, I’ll try to make someday. It’s really hard to find good shrimps around here. But it looks delicious!
