You already fucked up by using a crockpot.. Let alone for something that doesn't need to cook all that long (unless youre using okra)

Cook the rice separately and put a scoop in a bowl then gumbo goes on top. Next time just do it right though and use a soup pot

Oh forgot to add the tip about the thickening. You wanna make a roux, theres plenty of recipes online the trick is to get it a dark red brick color without burning it. Better under cooked than over in this case though

Gumbo is not cooked in a crock pot friendo. Ever. Throw a box of zatarans in there and end it. You can call it what ever you like, but that shit ain't no fucking gumbo. At least learn have some respect for the traditions of Cajun cooking.

Ok. Now that my eyes have stopped twitching and the rage has subsided, next time try this recipe, it's generic but pretty authentic in its prep: http://emerils.com/127540/chicken-and-smoked-sausage-gumbo Cajuns were country folks, hunters and trappers. Gumbo will include anything from duck to squirrel to you don't want to ask. Here's a short history of the dish: https://www.southernfoodways.org/interview/a-short-history-of-gumbo/

>RAGING OVER CROCK POT COOKERY

Alright next time I'll definitely use a pot. I made a roux out of half a stick of butter and a quarter cup of flour and 2 cups of the gumbo liquid, then reincorporated the roux liquid into the gumbo. Hopefully that'll thicken it a bit.

Thanks friendo

The starch from the rice would have thickened it up, hence the add a box of zatarains; hopefully your roux intro didn't turn into a mass of little dumplings on you. If it did, strain it or try to fish out the little bastards with a spoon or improvised coffee filter thing (coat hanger will work well). It'll turn out fine. The good thing is your cooking and asking questions and learning. Just please don't say you've been simmering shrimp for 4 hours... If you did, you'll soon find out why you don't do that. Cook your rice and ladle your [whatever that is] on top. And stick around.

Even though I've never made gumbo before, I definitely have made plenty of roux's. It turned out perfect and integrated with no problem.
I'll admit the shrimp is basically falling apart, but it's not that bad. It holds shape until you bite it. I'll probably sear the sausage slices next time to get a bit of crust and flavor.

This thread is why /ck/ is turning to shit. You absolutely can make up gumbo in a slow cooker.

You can also cut your dick off with a razor but it doesn't mean you should

Good. You're always going to get your balls busted on this board (site) but your OC is great. Since you're comfortable with roux try Emirls recipe: the general rule of thumb is a "three beer" roux. Use a heavy Dutch oven if you have one, if not, a heavy pot on low fire will do just fine. Hover over it like a helicopter parent and drink the beer and keep it moving. Gumbo is all about the roux. Glad you like your dish. Keep cooking, keep posting OC.

Maybe you should and report back

How did you remove yours? Because only a dickless faggot would cry about /ck/ because we don't like crockpots.

I lost it in your mom, fag.
