First you make a roux. Melt the butter in a large soup/stew pot, and mix the flour into the butter. Cook, stirring constantly over medium heat until dark and nutty.
2
Add the vegetables (except the okra) and saute until the onions are translucent.
3
Add the sliced sausage and saute until it is slightly browned.
4
Pour in your stock, and add the seasonings. You can substitute any creole/cajun seasoning blend for those listed above.

Add the okra now, and bring everything to a boil on high heat, then turn down to simmer.
6
Simmer for as long as you can possibly stand it.
7
5 minutes before serving, add the shrimp/fish. Turn the heat back up to high, and when it boils, the seafood is fully cooked and the gumbo is ready to serve.
8
Spoon some rice into each bowl, and ladle the gumbo over that. Serve with a nice crusty bread.
