Instructions
- In a 2-quart saucepan, saute the celery, onion and bell pepper in the oil over medium heat until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add all remaining ingredients (except shrimp, flour, water and rice). Cover the pan, and simmer on low for 30 minutes.
- Add the shrimp, cover and cook for 10 to 15 more minutes.
- In a small bowl, mix the flour with the water and stir it slowly into the gumbo. You may not need to add it all, so add a little, stir the gumbo for a few minutes, and see how thick it gets. You want it to have a stew-like consistency.
- Remove the bay leaves and serve in shallow bowls over rice.
