3/4 lb spicy sausage (or Italian sweet, sliced)
1/2 lb shrimp (peeled and deveined)

1 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsps all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 tbsp dried thyme
1 bay leaf

1/2 tsp dried basil

1
I like to cook the shrimp for longer than the last 5 minutes. This recipe is meat heavy.
2
Place the sausage in a saucepan and fill with water to cover. Bring to a boil and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Drain and set aside.
3
In a large pot over medium-high heat, heat the oil. Add the onion, celery, and green pepper and cook until softened (but not browned), about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the chicken broth, tomatoes, okra, and reserved sausage, cover, and bring to a boil. Continue cooking, covered, over high heat for 5 minutes.
4
In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and 1/2 cup of water. Stir the flour mixture, salt, spices, and Worcestershire sauce into the pot, cover, and cook over high heat for another 10 minutes.
5
Add the scallions, shrimp, and crabmeat, reduce heat to medium, and cook for 5 minutes. Remove the bay leaf, stir in the parsley, and remove from heat. Cover and let sit for 5 minutes. Serve over rice.
