Preparation steps
1.
In a large stock pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Sauté the sausage and onions; when the onions start to caramelize, add the peppers, garlic and celery. Add the bay leaves and dry seasoning; continue to sauté for 5 minutes longer. Add stock and cook for 40 to 45 minutes.
2.
Add okra, tomatoes and tomato sauce; simmer for an additional 15 minutes. Add the peeled and cleaned shrimp, stir well, and cook until the shrimp turns pink, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add corn starch, stirring to incorporate. As gumbo thickens, remove from heat and continue to stir for about 5 minutes.
3.
Remove bay leaves. Serve over cooked rice. Sprinkle with Filé powder.
