Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the sliced andouille sausage and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove sausage from the pot and set aside.
In the same pot, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the diced onion, bell pepper, and celery. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
Add the crushed tomatoes and chicken broth to the pot. Stir well to combine.
Add the cooked sausage back into the pot along with the bay leaves, Cajun seasoning, dried thyme, salt, pepper, and hot sauce. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.
Once simmering, add the sliced okra to the pot. Simmer for about 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the okra to soften.
Add the shrimp to the pot and cook until the shrimp are pink and cooked through, about 3-5 minutes.
Remove the bay leaves from the gumbo.
Garnish the gumbo with chopped parsley and sliced green onions before serving.
