Original recipe (1X) yields 9 servings

½ cup vegetable oil

½ cup all-purpose flour

1 large onion, chopped

½ cup finely chopped celery

½ cup sliced green onion

½ cup chopped fresh parsley (Optional)

6 cloves garlic, minced

4 cups chicken broth

1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon ground red chile pepper

2 pounds fresh medium shrimp, peeled and deveined

3 cups hot cooked rice

9 sprigs fresh parsley (Optional)

Directions

Combine vegetable oil and flour in a large stockpot over medium heat; cook, stirring often, until roux is dark brown, 10 to 15 minutes.

Stir onion, celery, green onion, parsley, and garlic carefully into the hot roux; it may splatter. Cook and stir until onion mixture is tender, about 5 minutes. Pour in broth. Season with salt and red chile pepper. Simmer gumbo, covered, until flavors combine, about 15 minutes.

Stir shrimp into the stockpot; cook until pink and opaque, 3 to 5 minutes.

Place 1/3 cup rice into each serving bowl. Ladle shrimp gumbo on top. Garnish with fresh parsley.

Cook's Notes:

Substitute water for the chicken broth if desired.

Substitute 2 tablespoons bottled garlic for the fresh garlic cloves if desired.
