  • Start by prepping your vegetables: dice the onion, bell pepper and celery and place them in a bowl; set aside. Mince the garlic and set it aside separately.
  • Add the oil and flour to a large pot or dutch oven. Turn the heat to medium and whisk constantly for 20 minutes.
  • Once the 20 minutes is up, add the onion, bell pepper and celery to the pot and sauté for 5 minutes. Then, add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute.
  • Next, add the sausage, cajun seasoning, salt, and cayenne if using and stir to combine. Pour in the chicken broth, water, diced tomatoes, coconut aminos, and bay leaves and bring the gumbo to a low boil. Simmer it uncovered for 50 minutes.
  • Once the time is up, add the shrimp and okra to the pot and continue simmering for 10 minutes or until the shrimp is pink and cooked through.
  • Remove the bay leaves, then divide the gumbo into bowls and garnish with green onions. Enjoy!
