Description
A flavorful and hearty gumbo made with andouille sausage, shrimp, and plenty of vegetables, all cooked in the Instant Pot for a quick and easy meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (12 ounces) andouille sausage, sliced
- 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 stalks celery, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 4 cups chicken stock or broth
- 10 ounces frozen okra
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
- 3 teaspoon gumbo file
- 1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes
- 12 ounces small shrimp
Instructions
- Set the Instant Pot to sauté and add the sliced sausage. Cook it, stirring, until it browns. Then take it out and set it aside for a few minutes.
- Pour a 1/4 cup of the chicken broth in the Instant Pot to deglaze it. Scrape the bottom and make sure no browned bits of meat are stuck to the bottom.
- Add the oil and flour and stir to create a roux. Slowly cook it and let it thicken for 10 minutes, until it is a light brown color.
- Add the onion, celery, green pepper and garlic and cook them for 5 minutes.
- Add the browned sausage, broth, okra, Worcestershire sauce, Cajun seasoning and gumbo file. Stir to mix everything together.
- Dump the can of tomatoes into the pot, but don’t stir it in. Leaving the tomatoes on top reduces the chances of getting a burn error.
- Seal the lid and pressure valve and cook on high pressure for 10 minutes. It will take about 10 minutes for it to reach pressure.
- Manually release pressure by flipping the valve open and stir in the shrimp. Put the lid back on and let it sit for 5 minutes to heat the shrimp.
- Sprinkle with green onions and serve over rice.
Notes
- *Note: Adjust the thickness of the roux to your preference by modifying the cooking time.
