2 pints Half N Half cream

 

10-12 picked crabs (1 pound white crabmeat) Best when freshly cracked)

˝ cup vegetable oil

Melt butter in large saucepan. Add onions, green onions and celery. Sauté until onion is clear, but not browned. Add corn. Reduce heat and simmer about 10 minutes.

Slowly stir in Half N Half until all is mixed well. Simmer 3-4 minutes to regain heat. (No need to if Half N Half is at room temperature when added.)

Move contents to pot with lid. Add chicken stock, crabmeat and additional seasoning. Roux may be added to thicken.

Debbie’s Gumbo

˝ cup Wesson oil

˝ cup flour

Brown thoroughly to make a roux. Be careful not to burn or scorch.

To the roux add:

3-4 cloves chopped garlic

1 onion chopped

1 bell pepper

2 Tablespoons salt

1 Tablespoon red pepper

1 Tablespoon white pepper

1 Tablespoon Black pepper

Adding these ingredients will slow the cooking process of the roux. Add the seasonings for your personal taste preference. At the Beach someone is always coming through tasting and adding.

Then add:

3 cans chicken broth

1 bag frozen okra

2 cans diced tomatoes

2 pounds shrimp

1 pint of oysters

1 pint of crabmeat

Or your seafood of preference. Add gumbo file to your taste.
