Ingredients

1 lb - seafood
¼ cup - all-purpose flour
¼ cup - vegetable oil
½ - yellow onion
½ - green pepper
3 stalks - celery
4 cups - seafood stock or veggie broth
2 cups - frozen cut okra
1 tsp - paprika
1 tsp - dried oregano
1 tsp - kosher salt
½ tsp - ground black pepper
1 tsp - dried parsley
1 tbsp - Cajun seasoning
Green onions

Instructions

Heat a dutch oven to medium-high heat on the stove. Start your roux by adding flour and oil to the pan, stirring continuously for 5 to 7 minutes, as mixture starts to turn brown. Reduce heat and continue cooking until you get a dark caramel color on your roux, without burning (about 10 minutes).
Add onion, celery and green pepper (the holy trinity) to the pot and stir, cooking for about 5 minutes. Pour in 4 cups stock or broth and okra, returning heat to medium-high until mixture comes to a boil.
Season with paprika, oregano, salt, pepper and dried parsley. Cover and simmer for about 10 minutes to allow the gumbo to thicken.
Add seafood and Cajun seasoning, cooking uncovered, for about 5 minutes, until seafood is cooked through. Serve with rice (or cauliflower rice for Whole30).
