We are days away from Mardi Gras in New Orleans, and because food plays such a big part of the celebration it only seems natural to celebrate with food! You are going to want to make this Chicken and Shrimp Gumbo a part of your party!! It is full of flavor, with sausage and potatoes in the mix too, and it’s so easy to make. It takes some time, but it is well worth the time!Â
 Chicken and Shrimp Gumbo 2 teaspoons mild Cajun SeasoningÂ
1/2 cup Peanut Oil
3/4 cup Flour
1 (48 oz) container Chicken Broth
2 pounds boneless Chicken Breasts
1 pound Andouille Sausage
1 pound Shrimp (med size)
3 pounds Red Potatoes
1 tablespoon Peanut Oil
1 teaspoon Salt
1/4 cup crumbled Bacon
Add chicken broth, sausage and chicken to pot. Increase to medium high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally for 1 hour 30 minutes or until chicken is done.
The chicken needs to be shredded. You can do it by leaving the chicken in the pot, or you can pull it out, shred it and return it to the pan. Using two forks pulling opposite one another makes it easy to shred.
Peel and devein the shrimp. Add to the pot to cook for 3-4 minutes. Mix the red potatoes, oil, and salt together in a bowl. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Quarter the potatoes and place on baking sheet to cook for 40-45 minutes.
Place potatoes into bottom of bowl.
Spoon in gumbo. Top with chopped bacon.
Enjoy your tasty gumbo!
