Ingredients | Gumbo Recipe With Roux

⅓ cup all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

2 green bell peppers, chopped

1 large onion, chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

½ pound chicken andouille sausage, quartered lengthwise and sliced

2 (14.5 ounce) cans no-salt-added diced tomatoes

1 (10.75 ounce) can reduced-sodium chicken broth

1 tablespoon salt-free Cajun seasoning

½ pound uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined

5 cups frozen riced cauliflower

Directions

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add flour; cook, stirring constantly, until flour is deep golden and smells toasty, 7 to 10 minutes. Reduce heat if browning too quickly. Transfer to a 6-quart slow cooker.

Add oil, bell peppers, onion, and garlic to the skillet; cook and stir until tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir into slow cooker until coated. Stir in sausage, tomatoes, broth, Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper.

Cook on Low for 6 to 7 hours or on High for 3 to 3 1/2 hours. Stir in shrimp; cook until opaque, about 30 minutes on Low or 15 minutes on High.

Meanwhile, place riced cauliflower in a heatproof dish, cover, and microwave until heated through, about 4 minutes, stirring halfway through.

Serve gumbo over cauliflower. Sprinkle with parsley and additional black pepper.
