Ingredients
- 1 package Miracle Rice, rinsed, boiled and drained.
- 1/4 cup cooking oil
- 2 cups chopped onion
- 1 cup chopped green bell pepper
- 2 ribs celery chopped
- 1 can Rotel (diced tomatoes with green chilies)
- 1 pack of your favorite brand smoked sausage, sliced or cubed (I use turkey, less calories)
- 8 cups sliced fresh or frozen okra
- 2 pounds shrimp (peeled)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Or Tony Chachere's Seasoning or your favorite brand
- Total cooking time is 1 hour.
Method
- Add oil to heavy bottom pot.
- When oil is hot add the onions. Cook until onions start to brown.
- Add the bell peppers.
- Cook on high heat until peppers start to brown. At this point the onions will begin to look burnt but this is what will darken your gumbo.
- Add celery and cook until celery begins to soften. Add the Rotel.
- Cook until all the water has cooked out. This may take about 4 minutes.
