Instructions
Peel the shrimp. If making shrimp stock, reserve the shells and start preparing it now (see Note). If using vegetable broth, discard the shells. Place the shrimp in a bowl and refrigerate.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and sauté until it starts to brown, about 3 minutes. Add the okra and sauté until browned, 5 to 7 minutes more. Remove from the heat and set aside.
In a heavy soup pot, combine the flour and butter and cook, stirring constantly, until the roux is light brown, about 2 minutes.
Add the onion, celery, bell pepper, corn, and garlic to the roux. Sauté until the onion is translucent and fragrant, 5 to 8 minutes. Stir in the Creole seasoning.
Add the tomatoes and shrimp stock or vegetable broth, stir well, and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Add the cooked andouille and okra, the Worcestershire, and parsley. Simmer for 25 minutes.
Add the shrimp and crabmeat and cook until the shrimp is pink and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Serve over rice.
Store the rice and gumbo in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days
