I am cajun from SE Louisiana!. Here's how to cook a great gumbo!. First, you will need a roux!. In a magnalite pot heat about a 1/4 cup of vegetable oil!. Put in enough flour to make a consistecy of paste!. Heat on high continually stirring until it has the color of peanut butter!. Do not overcook!. Remove from heat before it burns!. Then add to the roux chopped onions (one average size onion), garlic, chopped celery, salt, pepper, about a pound of peeled uncooked shrimp (season shrimp with Tony's Chachere's seasoning if available) Saute mixture for about 10-15 minutes!. Fill pot with water and bring to boil!. If you can get it add a teaspoon full of Zatarain's liquid crab boil!.(be careful, liquid crab boil is concentrated and extremely potent don't add too much!. But it makes it taste wonderful!) Allow to boil for 30-40 minutes adding water if needed!. It should be the consistency of soup!. After cooking is complete allow gumbo to sit for about 10 minutes to allow grease to rise to top!. use a large spoon and skim top to remove grease from gumbo!. Then add chopped parsley and stir!. Serve over rice!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
