SWMBO and I made up a big batch of seafood gumbo. Wifey was born in Louisiana, and I bet I am the only guy in Indiana throwing a "GO SAINTS" bowl party. She even drew a fleur de lis on the window facing the highway. (We'll probably get egged if the saints win). Anyways, here's the recipe.
Make a roux w/ a stick of butter and flour.
Stir constantly for 15 minutes or so, add chopped bell pepper, onion, and celery.
When the veggies are soft, add some garlic (OK, a lot of garlic) a couple bay leaves, okra, sage, a can of diced tomatoes, and a couple cans of chicken stock.
Let it get all warm and homogenized, toss in 1lb of shrimp, 1 lb of crawfish tails, and some andouille sausage. When the meat is cooked, it's done.
Serve over white rice.
