Directions

Notes: Original recipe called for 2 tsp oil, but I added one more while cooking because it was too dry. I also added some chicken broth when I put in the vegetables, it was absolutely dry.

Prepare rice as package directs. In large saucepan over medium heat, cook oil and flour, stirring, 5 to 10 minutes until golden brown. Add peppers, celery, onion and garlic. Cook about 8 minutes until browned. Slowly whisk in broth; add beans and cajun seasoning. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to low and simmer 10 minutes. Add shrimp; return to boil; reduce heat to low.

Simmer about 5 minutes until flavors are blended and gumbo is thickened.

Serve with rice.
