DIRECTIONS

To make the gumbo, you must start with a roux base. To the roux add the onions, celery, bell pepper, garlic, and okra (if it ain't got okra, it ain't gumbo!); season with salt, and Essence.
Mix in the tomato paste, bay leaves, thyme, parsley, black pepper, and basil. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring now and then, until the vegetables are soft.
Pour in the cooled shrimp stock and crab boil, stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil, and then reduce the heat. Simmer for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the gumbo is dark and thick.
Toss in the shrimp, crab, and oysters, cook about another 15 minutes; adjust seasoning.
