Lobster and Shrimp Gumbo
Ingredients:
• Lobster
• Shrimp
• Andouille sausage
• Okra
• Onion
• Bell peppers (Red/Green/Yellow)
• Celery stalks (Chopped)
• Garlic (minced)
• Canned diced tomatoes (1 can)

Cooking Instructions:
1. **Make the Roux**: In a large pot, combine flour and oil over medium heat. Stir continuously until it becomes a dark brown color. This is the base of your gumbo and may take about 20-25 minutes.
2. **Cook the Vegetables**: Add the chopped onions, bell peppers, and celery to the roux. Cook until they soften, then add garlic and cook for another minute.
3. **Add Liquids and Seasonings**: Stir in chicken broth, canned tomatoes, Creole seasoning, cayenne pepper, dried thyme, and bay leaves. Bring to a simmer.
4. **Add Sausage and Okra**: Add sliced andouille sausage and okra to the pot. Simmer for about 30 minutes.
5. **Add Seafood**: Lastly, add the shrimp and lobster. Cook until the seafood is done, about 5-10 minutes.
6. **Final Touches**: Remove bay leaves, adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, and serve over rice. Garnish with chopped green onions and parsley.
Enjoy!
