Instructions

Step 1 : 

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.

Step 2 : 

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.

Step 3 : 

In a heavy soup pot, combine the flour and butter and cook, stirring constantly, until the roux is light brown, about 2 minutes.

Step 4 : 

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.

Step 5 : 

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.

Step 6 : 

Add the shrimp and crabmeat and cook until the shrimp is pink and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Serve over rice.

Step 7 : 

Store the rice and gumbo in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days
