Ingredients
1/2 cup peanut oil
4 tablespoons flour
1 cup chopped onions
1 pound small white shrimp (30/40), peeled and deveined
8 ounces Creole hot sausage, cut into bite-size pieces
8 ounces smoked sausage, cut into bite-size pieces
8 ounces beef stew meat, cubed
8 ounces smoked ham, cubed
6 chicken wings, cut in half
1 tablespoon file powder
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon salt
2 dozen oysters, with their liquid
1/4 cup chopped parsley
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ground thyme
Directions
- Heat the oil in a skillet over low heat and add the flour to make a roux, browning until golden about 3 minutes. Add the onions and cook over low heat until the onions wilt about 4 minutes.
- Put the shrimp, sausages, stew meat and ham in a 5-quart pot over medium heat. Pour the onion mixture over the ingredients and add 3 quarts water, the chicken wings, file powder, paprika and salt. Bring to a boil and cook for 30 minutes or until broth reaches desired thickness.
- Add the oysters, parsley, garlic and thyme. Lower the heat and cook until the shrimp is pink, about 10 minutes more, before serving.
