Ingredients

  • (1 tbsp) Butter
  • (3/4 cup chopped) Onion
  • (1/4 cup chopped) Green bell pepper
  • (1/2 cup chopped) Celery
  • (3, minced) Garlic cloves
  • (1 package) Pork Smoked Cajun Sausage
  • (2 15.5 oz cans, or use fresh tomatoes) Diced Tomatoes
  • (6 cups) Pastured Chicken Bone Broth
  • (1/4 cup) Cajun Seasoning
  • (2) Bay leaves
  • (1/2 cup) Roux
  • (1lb) Frozen Gulf Shrimp, thawed
  • (1 cup, chopped) Okra (optional)
  • (4 cups shredded) Chicken Breasts
  • salt to taste
  • cooked rice, for serving
  • green onion for garnish

Directions

  1. In a large heavy-bottom pot, melt the butter, add in the onion, celery, and green bell pepper, and stir until soft (about 5 minutes). Add garlic and cook for 1 additional minute.
  2. Add the sausage to the pot and char (about 5 minutes). Add in diced tomatoes, chicken broth, cajun seasoning, and bay leaves. Stir together.
  3. Increase heat to high and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce to a simmer and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add in the pre-made roux (we make ours out of pork lard or beef tallow and Guardian Grain's flour.), stir, and let simmer for 5 minutes.
  4. Add raw shrimp, shredded chicken breast, and okra. Return to a simmer. Cook for 5 minutes or until shrimp are opaque. Salt to taste. Serve with rice and garnish with green onions. Enjoy!
