I do not like the texture of roux so I skip the flour. The okra will thicken my
gumbo well enough. If you want to stick closer to the original, melt the butter
in a large deep skillet, add the flour and cook for 10 minutes stirring very
often. Careful not to burn the flour, it would ruin everything. If you skip
the flour, just add the sofrito to the melted butter, followed by the sausage,
diced tomatoes, okra, chicken broth, gumbo file and
Cajun seasoning. Bring to a
boil, reduce heat and simmer for 1 hour stirring occasionally.
Add shrimps and cook for 10 more minutes, until shrimp stop looking
translucent. Add crab meat and half the scallions and taste. Add salt and pepper
if necessary and turn off the heat.
Serve over rice and garnish with remaining scallions.
