  1. 1 Peel shrimp; toss shells with ½ tablespoon Cajun seasoning. Place seasoned shells into a pot with 3 quarts water, 1 tablespoon diced onion, and 1 tablespoon diced bell pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and cook at least 2 hours; the longer it cooks, the more flavor the stock will have.
  2. 2 Meanwhile, gently run a knife along backs of shrimp to devein; this will also make shrimp plump nicely when cooking. Toss shrimp in remaining ½ tablespoon Cajun seasoning; refrigerate.
  3. 3 Melt butter in a large pot over medium-high heat. Slowly add flour, stirring constantly with a whisk or wooden spoon; continue to cook and stir frequently until roux turns brown in color and has a nutty aroma, about 5 minutes. Add remaining onion and bell pepper; sauté until onion is translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in tomato paste.
  4. 4 Slowly stir in diced tomatoes, okra, and shrimp stock. Add crab boil seasoning; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer; cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, about 1 hour. Stir in shrimp; continue cooking until shrimp are bright pink but not tough, about 20 minutes.

Instructions

  1. 1 Fill a large pot partially with lightly salted water, and place the chicken in the pot. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer, and cook the chicken until the meat is no longer pink and the juices run clear, about 1 hour. Remove the chicken from the broth, and crack open the carcass to allow the chicken to cool. Reserve the chicken broth. After the chicken has cooled enough to handle, pick the meat from the bones, and set aside.
  2. 2 While the chicken is simmering, make a roux by whisking together the flour and vegetable oil in a large, heavy saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook and stir the mixture, watching constantly to avoid burning, until the roux is a rich chocolate brown color, 20 to 30 minutes.
  3. 3 As soon as the roux has reached the desired color, stir in the onions, bell peppers, celery, Cajun seasoning, and bay leaves, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, about 45 minutes. Pour in the reserved chicken broth, diced tomatoes, and beef sausage, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the mixture has thickened, about 1 hour.
  4. 4 Mix in the reserved chicken meat and okra, bring back to a simmer, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the okra is tender and the flavors have blended, 30 to 40 minutes.
