This is Louisiana's most famous dish and a Mardi Gras favorite! So full of goodness, shrimp, crab, andouille sausage, spices, onion, bell pepper, garlic and more! It all starts with the roux which is the most time-consuming part, it's a very important step that results in a beautiful deep color and distinctive flavor! I'm not an okra fan so I left it out and don't skip the file powder, it also adds to the amazing flavor, it's usually found in the seafood dept. of your grocery store. Be sure to serve with white rice and put the hot sauce on the table, enjoy!
