Seafood Gumbo Recipe - NYT Cooking image

For many African Americans, seafood gumbo is an essential part of New Year’s celebrations. This version, adapted from the chef JJ Johnson, uses celebratory seafood, such as scallops, crab, lobster and shrimp, and includes okra rounds in a nod to his family’s southern roots. Mr. Johnson also pulled inspiration from Gullah Geechee cuisine, Native American and West African flavors and Louisiana's culinary traditions for the ultimate melting pot of gumbo. Be sure to make the gumbo spice mix, which adds heat and depth to this luxurious and comforting stew.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon powdered bay leaf (see Tip 1)
1 1/2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes, or more to taste
1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne, or more to taste
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 tablespoons smoked paprika
1 tablespoon kosher salt (Diamond Crystal)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
4 tablespoons salted butter
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 small onion, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 small celery stalk, finely chopped
1/2 red bell pepper, finely chopped
1/2 cup grape tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup dried shrimp (optional; see Tip 2)
1 tablespoon tomato paste
5 cups store-bought or homemade chicken stock
4 ounces fresh or thawed frozen okra, sliced into rounds (1 cup)
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
2 lobster tails, shelled and cut into 3/4-inch pieces (optional; see Tip 3)
1/4 pound picked crab meat
1/4 pound sea scallops
1/2 pound medium shrimp
Kosher salt and black pepper
4 cups cooked jasmine rice, for serving

Steps:

Make the spice mix: Place all ingredients in a bowl and stir until combined. Set aside 2 tablespoons to add to the gumbo and reserve the rest for another use in an airtight container.
Make the gumbo: In a heavy 4- to 5-quart pot, heat the butter and oil over medium heat. Once the butter begins to bubble slightly, add the flour and stir with a wooden spoon or heatproof spatula to form a smooth paste.
Cook the mixture, stirring continuously, for 10 to 13 minutes to make a chocolate-colored roux. Make sure to scrape the bottom and sides of the pot to avoid burning. It is important to keep a very close eye on the roux during this step. The roux can go from a nutty color and aroma to burnt beyond repair in a matter of minutes. Lower the heat as needed.
Immediately add the onion, garlic, celery, bell pepper and tomatoes and stir well. The vegetables will stop the roux from overcooking and burning. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to stick to the pan, 5 to 10 minutes. Add the dried shrimp, if using, tomato paste and 2 tablespoons spice mix and cook, stirring often, for 5 minutes.
While whisking, slowly add the stock and whisk until the stock is completely blended with the roux and vegetable mixture. Add the okra, lemon juice and Worcestershire sauce and let simmer for 50 minutes over very low heat, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon. Add the lobster, crab, scallops and shrimp and simmer just until cooked through, about 10 minutes more.
Season the gumbo to taste with salt and pepper and serve over rice.

SHRIMP GUMBO WITH ANDOUILLE SAUSAGE RECIPE - NYT COOKING

Most cooks agree that gumbos must have the vegetable trinity of chopped bell pepper, onion and celery, and that they should be highly seasoned. Some gumbos do contain sausage, shrimp and chicken, but there are humbler ones that are made with only salt pork, onions and greens. Finally, there is the filé powder camp. These cooks use copious amounts of the stuff, which is made from finely powdered sassafras leaves. Added at the last minute, it thickens the soup while imparting a flavor that’s earthy and herbal. I confess to using all three — a roux, okra and filé powder — in my own gumbo, which I hope is not sacrilegious. Not having grown up in gumbo territory, I based mine on a number of visits to New Orleans.
