For making the Roux:Put the ¾ cup olive into a cast iron skillet. Heat oil then add the flour. Cook over low heat stirring frequently while you cook gumbo. As you get closer to completing the gumbo, you can increase the heat, but you need to continue stirring frequently to prevent the roux from burning. The roux will be done when it looks like a dark chocolate color. Once the roux is done add the 3 tablespoons or half of a 6 ounce can of tomato paste and stir into the roux until it is all mixed in well. Once this is done set aside the roux and let it cool down prior to putting it in the gumbo.For making the Gumbo:In a very large pot add the 2 tablespoons olive oil and cook onion and celery until onion is clear. Add garlic. Cook a few minutes and then add broth, okra diced tomatoes, salt and pepper, worcestershire sauce, blackened seafood seasoning and Old Bay seasoning and water. When the gumbo has heated back up, add rice. Cook for 20 minutes to cook the rice. Finish browning Roux on medium to medium high heat until Roux is a medium to dark brown, but not burned. Stir in cooled down Roux into the pot of gumbo Stir in file gumbo powder and add shrimp. The gumbo is done when the shrimp turn pink.Number of Servings: 12Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user KUYKENWE.
