I love these Shotgun Red cooking episodes. The on-camera personality and interactions between Steve and Shelia only adds to the great content. Steve may be gone from this world, but he lives on in these videos. I appreciate that and I appreciate you, Sheila, for keeping the show going through this channel. I don't often comment, but I come to visit fairly regularly. This dry roux thing was so amazing. Blessings!
We appreciate you Andrew! When Steve passed away he had made 307 of these recipes. I know he would love knowing your taking time from your life to watch his.
I always say you're only as important in life as the memories you leave others..he's definitely gonna live on for generations even just through this channel. So sorry for your loss.
Oh Wow! I found this recipe last year, and I been following this ever since. I looked at this today and just realized he's no longer with us in the comments. Prayers to the family and Thank You Shotgun Red for this amazing roux hack.
I love watching Shotgun Red re-runs. The method of cooking flour in my toaster oven works perfectly. Then keep it in a jar and use the baked flour in everything for thickening or sprinkle some on top. Gives a nice color and a hint of nuttiness, which always reminds me of Steve, may he rest in peace :-)
I like to use 1-1/8 cups AP flour, 1/8 cup corn starch and 1-1/2 teaspoons of Chef Paul Prudhommes Meat Cajun Magic Seasoning, mixed really well and baked. Sometimes, I add the corn starch after the baking. The cornstarch offsets the loss of thickening ability caused by darkening the flour - the darker the roux, the less it thickens. I can then add this to stock as in this video, or beer (Isaac Toupes uses beer in his cajun recipes), or my favorite - melted butter or butter with the trinity cooked into it. I miss Steve's Presence so very much but I still watch Miss Sheila and Friends honor his memory.
So sorry for the loss of a great cook! Prayers for family and friends. I made this today and tried the flour in the oven, it turned out fantastic! Thank you for keeping the videos coming Ms. Sheila
He died? I found this video by random two years ago and his roux method changed my whole cocking method for the better. Just want the family to know that. I'm truly thankful I came across him.
I'm born and raised in New Orleans and thank you so much for this. A quicker way to make a roux, I'm all for it. Will be using this going forward and put it in a jar.
This is my first time I made gumbo (apart from a premade package) and what a fantastic recipe this is. One of the best things I've ever tasted. thanks a million from the Netherlands
I just made this dish using your recipe with a few minor changes. I was simply blown away by the results. The only differences were: I added a pound of shrimp, a little more vinegar, and a few more cloves of garlic. It was to die for!
Thank you Shelia for continuing these videos on-line. Steve's Shotgun Red shirt says it all..he IS the "Legend"! I'm sure all of your subscribers miss him so much. But keeping these videos going allows others to enjoy his humor & recipes. Guess he didn't like Okra...very funny!
I just realized that he has passed. I also am happy that you keep these videos online. My condolences to Ms. Shelia, her family, and the friends of the late "Shot Gun Red".
Lovely recipe 😍. We made a few notes: 1) Made the dry roux in oven, it works, beautiful color, BUT, that oven roux without the oil left a "very dry" mouth feel as a result. Basically, no "umami." No savor, no swoon. 2) roux took hecka long in oven. Start in A.M. for real. But turn out very well. Would do again. So would do again! 3) Had to add 2 1/2 sticks of butter at the end of cooking (after the seafood). The gumbo wasn't oily after the butter. Didn't need to slim ANY from top either. That addition worked out perfectly. Very, very, swoon worthy then. Thanks!
@@CookingwithShotgunRed You see him again. I hope I do. Then I'll know I went to the right place. Could have listened to him all day. Loved the chemistry between you two and his wit, like when he pretended to put okra the chicken and sausage gumbo while you were out of the room. In one word, I'd just have to call him a GENTLEMAN. all good things to you.
We made this last night and it was WONDERFUL! We will miss him and his charming demeanor. He was a rare gem. I am very sorry for you loss, but his legacy will live on through these videos. God Bless you.
For years, I have stood and stirred a roux for an hour to get it the shade that I wanted it to be. Now, I have never burnt it. Still, I am going to try this because it looks so much easier. Thanks for showing this method. Steve sure knew his way around the kitchen. Oh, and I will be adding okra, and it will not sink.
Just learned of Red's passing and I am so sorry. Thank you Sheila for carrying on these wonderful videos. I love cooking shows and I've learned a lot from this series. Once again, my deepest sympathies. RIP Shotgun Red.
That okra really is the finishing touch, love it. Never knew it sinks, learned something new today. Very nice guy, love the vid. If I could find Andouille where I live, I'd certainly would try to make this, because the rue never burns! Sorry for your loss Sheila, Just by seeing him in action, you just know this a nice guy. Heartfelt.
Louisiana man here. My mind has been blown after watching the dry roux method. I feel like I've been lied to my whole life. After getting 2nd degree burns on my beer holding hand once making a roux (don't worry, I didn't spill a drop) I will definitely give this a shot.
Louisiana man here again, made it last night and OH MY GOD was it great. Never making a roux with oil ever again. Thanks for changing my life lol. Me and my formerly burnt hand thank you.
Shotgun I MUST OVERWHELME YOU LOVE. The simplicity of cooking making all dishes stress FREE. PEOPLE who don't make gumbo, even from a box, b'cuz they've been FEAR STRESSED from enjoying one of the BEST dishes in the WORLD! I'M DOING IT RIGHT NOW, AND THE WAY YOU COOK IT IS IN MY WHEELHOUSE. BON APPETITE SHOTGUN RED🔥😁!!!
I am so sorry Miss Sheila. Just learned of this. Must be so hard on you to keep reading our sympathies as we all are learning over such a long period of time. Today I will add the okra just for Red :smile: God Bless.
Omg!! I have never made gumbo I'm my life!! Was looking for a.perfect recipe! Followed shotguns and was delish!! Wow ...so sorry to hear of his passing...I'm sure he left a wonderful legacy! Stay blessed!!
This is one of the best gumbo video’s I’ve seen. Sorry to hear of his passing. I will be making my dry roux today in my fresh out the box brand new cast iron skillet! Happy 2024 everyone. Rest in Peace Steve
As much as I love this guy with so much knowledge on cooking then he throws in a side note - NHRA - we were so blessed with Red - another great piece Thanks 👍
Oh boy. Just made this and it was excellent. Not to hijack but just for encouraging others, this is adaptable. I substituted the following because it's what I had on hand... Butter and olive oil for veg oil. Frozen seasoning blend for onion, celery, green pepper, and parsley. Frozen tenderloins cooked from Frozen in the veggie first stage. Garlic sausage for andouille. Roasted garlic 'better than bullion' for chicken broth and garlic. Dried thyme for fresh. Everything else i followed. I let it get a bit darker than my preference, but when it all came together with rice it was better than any I've had anywhere ever. THANKS FOR UPLOADING THIS GREAT GUY'S RECIPES. RIP!!!
Dry roux!!!!! Who knew???? Man, I was dreading making the roux for my chicken and sausage gumbo. I've made it the hard way several times and never got it right. So I watched your video and tried dry roux. Fantastic!!!!!!! Thank you, Shotgun Red, Genius Extraordinaire.
Looks delicious! Thanks Shotgun Red. Gumbo was on my dinner menu today but I was dreading stirring and stirring for a while to make the roux. Tried your method here and so far so good. Much appreciated!!
I love the new way to make the roux and I will try it. I have a suggestion for you on holding your bowl down to the table, just put a towel under your bowl and it and Sheila won’t have to hold it for you. Great job and I will never stand over a stove to make my roux again. Thanks for the tip!
Been making gumbo wrong for several years mainly because I never made it using a roux base, attempted to make roux last night doing the whole oil stir dance for an hour but think I burnt it and can't tell so I don't trust it and doing it dry sounds amazing, especially if I never have to do the stir method again. Thank you.
I made Dry Roux by browning the flour in a nonstick Teflon pan using a flat spatula came out good. The Oven Roux is so Easy, thank you! Miss seeing him in all the newer videos. Keep them coming Miss Sheila.
As someone who's been wanting to attempt to make a roux but have been nervous at the thought of making one, this is *genius!* I will attempt it this way until I get the confidence to make a traditional roux
Enjoyed this vid and as I was writing my comment minutes ago I've been eating Raging Cajun black beans and I cooked rice and sausage - love the Cajun style food
This was such a special person. Not only was Steve a huge (haha) comic talent, but he was a superior human when it comes to kindness and a disarming personality...If he’s not one of your favorite celeb cooks..... he outta be!
I’ve been looking for this video since the first time I made gumbo. THIS is the one that solidified it for me. I made it with the dry method from this video the 2nd time (1st was the traditional) and good lord do I agree with him. Huge game changer. And I don’t have to make a mix of recipes from a couple videos - this is the bee’s knees! I need to make sure I write this in my recipe notebook and save the video so I don’t lose it again. Thank you!!!
Made it and loved it! My kids thought I stole the recipe from a well known Tex Mex restaurants that make it here in NJ. I made it once a long time ago the old stir and stir way and never made it again. So thank you and Sheila, I hope I spelled her name correctly for her assist with the camera. Will be following your recipes. Again, thank you. RIP.
I was watching something totally different not even about food but I just left you on because I was eating and I love that style. I’m from New Orleans and I never thought of it like that and you are 100%correct. We only need the dark flour for the color of the gumbo. I been stop making that flour from scratch it take wayy to long and you already have a lot to cook, so once in a while I would make a Roux if I’m just doing it not on a holiday. But I will definitely try this way. Thanks.
I come back time after time to get a refresh on this recipe and making the perfect roux. Thank God this is here! Well done sir take your rest. You are well appreciated.
The day when you are searching for a gumbo recipe on RUclips, going through eleventeen videos and you finally find a sweet man doing some beautiful things with a twist. In the next comment you find out this charming man has passed. I hurt for any family and friends who know the immense heart that is missing. We are very sorry 😢
Wow thank you for being here with us! When Steve passed away he had made 307 recipes. We miss him so much. Today two years ago we had his memorial service. 😢 He would be smiling knowing you are binge watching his channel!🙂
@@CookingwithShotgunRed I am stunned to hear this. Truly stunned. I’m just speechless that I’m only finding out about this now. I had no idea. Please accept my deepest heartfelt condolences. We all feel the loss with you. What a sweet gentle soul.
I thought about my pizza stone alot here. I just went over, opened up the oven, and tasted the nutty brown flour for the first time after all these years making pizzas and calzones. It tastes like salty garlic???? Yes. Brilliant! There is enough right there for me to use in gumbo for one. Lol! The last time i use oakra to thicken the gumbo and now this will be added.
Loved the video, and you got a great voice for cooking reciepe videos too! Got yourself a subscriber today my man. I apologize. I did not know until i looked through other videos yall have posted. I am blessed to gain anoyher source for my cooking knowledge and grow because of the channel and legacy here. Ill pray for you when God brings you to mind!
Another one outta the park! Made this tonight, I also added shrimp and red beans, no rice. Will make it with rice and (for you Sheila) Ochre next time!
For those people who don't like okra because of the slimy juice. If the okra is cooked with tomatoes (and maybe onions) or any other food that is acid food by nature it won't be slimy. I've never tried adding vinegar to the water as that might work,but steaming okra works well. I just go to my standards cooking of okra to along with tomatoes and onion.... n maybe a hot sauce or peppers depends if I want it spicy.
My Mama, bless her soul (I miss her so) wasn't one to want to share her cooking recipes and how to cook with anyone. Yes even her daughter's. We'd watch her trying to learn but when we'd make her recipes they'd never taste quite like hers. Since watching this channel things just clicked and we're like "ok, now I get how she did it"! So many thanks to Steve (RIP You are so missed) and Miss Sheila. This is my favorite cooking channel.
I will be glad when Your cook book comes out. Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe with us and the tip on making the roux....oh no I just read where Steve passed this life. So sorry to hear this. Sending love and condolences to his family. I am sure he is in heaven chefing...
I love these Shotgun Red cooking episodes. The on-camera personality and interactions between Steve and Shelia only adds to the great content.

Oven roux. Absolute genius! Have never made a gumbo that turn out so dark. Like chocolate. Not standing by the stove stirring best thing ever.
I had no idea He was gone. God bless. Thank you for all the recipes, especially this one
You’re welcome Sharon! 👍😃

Thank you Nancy! Appreciate your comment! ❤️

Oh boy. Just made this and it was excellent.
Not to hijack but just for encouraging others, this is adaptable.
I substituted the following because it's what I had on hand...
Butter and olive oil for veg oil.
Frozen seasoning blend for onion, celery, green pepper, and parsley.
Frozen tenderloins cooked from Frozen in the veggie first stage.
Garlic sausage for andouille.
Roasted garlic 'better than bullion' for chicken broth and garlic.
Dried thyme for fresh.
Everything else i followed.
I let it get a bit darker than my preference, but when it all came together with rice it was better than any I've had anywhere ever.
THANKS FOR UPLOADING THIS GREAT GUY'S RECIPES. RIP!!!
Oh, and ACV for white vinegar.
Your so welcome my friend!😃👌 Glad you had a great dish! Thanks for sharing!
Dry roux!!!!! Who knew???? Man, I was dreading making the roux for my chicken and sausage gumbo. I've made it the hard way several times and never got it right. So I watched your video and tried dry roux. Fantastic!!!!!!! Thank you, Shotgun Red, Genius Extraordinaire.

Yes a few years ago... had an heart attack while ice fishing I believe. Miss Sheila has continued his cooking show.

Wow thank you for being here with us! When Steve passed away he had made 307 recipes. We miss him so much. Today two years ago we had his memorial service. 😢 He would be smiling knowing you are binge watching his channel!🙂
Well said. Shelia does do a great job! I found a video of Steve fishing.. I bet you like it👍.... Don’t forget the Oakra!
@@CookingwithShotgunRed Wow I can't believe it, I am definitely a fan. So sorry to hear this, and on top of it he was a Packers Fan!!! RIP Steve
@@CookingwithShotgunRed I am stunned to hear this. Truly stunned. I’m just speechless that I’m only finding out about this now. I had no idea. Please accept my deepest heartfelt condolences. We all feel the loss with you. What a sweet gentle soul.
LOVE IT, okra sinks...... 100% behind Steve on that one. LOVED THIS VIDEO!!!
Thanks Sue!
I was 😂😂😂 as he added the invisible okra
I thought about my pizza stone alot here. I just went over, opened up the oven, and tasted the nutty brown flour for the first time after all these years making pizzas and calzones. It tastes like salty garlic???? Yes. Brilliant! There is enough right there for me to use in gumbo for one. Lol! The last time i use oakra to thicken the gumbo and now this will be added.
Glad you like it Brian! :)
I can't wait to try a dry roux! Thank you!

Another one outta the park! Made this tonight, I also added shrimp and red beans, no rice. Will make it with rice and (for you Sheila) Ochre next time!
Sounds great!
For those people who don't like okra because of the slimy juice. If the okra is cooked with tomatoes (and maybe onions) or any other food that is acid food by nature it won't be slimy. I've never tried adding vinegar to the water as that might work,but steaming okra works well. I just go to my standards cooking of okra to along with tomatoes and onion.... n maybe a hot sauce or peppers depends if I want it spicy.
My Mama, bless her soul (I miss her so) wasn't one to want to share her cooking recipes and how to cook with anyone. Yes even her daughter's. We'd watch her trying to learn but when we'd make her recipes they'd never taste quite like hers. Since watching this channel things just clicked and we're like "ok, now I get how she did it"! So many thanks to Steve (RIP You are so missed) and Miss Sheila. This is my favorite cooking channel.
Thank you so much! Our mom's can make great food memories!
OMG! I Never Knew that you could bake flour for a roux!! Thanks Shotgun Red and Sheila!
