boom. we're basically going to be stirring the wholetime. it's important to get your roux dark but sometimes people carry it too far andthey're gumbo taste burnt. then in goes our onions and garlic. and the next thing we'readding in celery and bell pepper. it's going to become a little aggressive withyou, but like most bullies it'll back down when you stand up to it. so give it a robuststir. after we stir this up for a minute of 2 you'llnotice the color change, we'll add the parsley, our oregano, cayenne pepper, some tabascosauce, our clam juice goes in, and water. we're going to stir every once in a whileand let it cook for 5 minutes. then it'll
change colors again, now this is when we addour raw seafood. we're going to add our fish and our shrimpand mix those boys in well. after we've done that we're going to pour ourselves a beverageand wait for the seafood to cook. you want to turn off the heat as soon as theseafood is done because you don't want to overcook it, now do you? check for seasonings,add salt and pepper and that's all it is to it. i'm going to taste this. look at that. thisis amazing. i killed this ya'll this is delicious. it's rich. has that rich deep nutty flavor.that beautiful shrimp and fish. umm. hey guys i hope you enjoyed that. the linkto the recipe is in the about section below
