Emma in Texas, Nancy has 4 full pages of Cajun recipes on her message board. This is one I have made and also had at a potluck. Yummy!

Spicy Shrimp Gumbo
Makes: 8 servings

1 large onion
1/2 cup fresh parsley
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3/4 cup flour
1/2 cup sliced green onion
6 pods of diced garlic
4 cups chicken broth
1 package thawed frozen okra chopped if whole
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground red pepper
2 pounds medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
3 cups steaming cooked rice
fresh parsley sprigs for garnish
1/2 cup chopped celery

Mince onions. Set aside. Snip enough parsley for 1/2 cup and set aside. Blend oil and flour in large stockpot. Cook over medium-high 10 to 15 minutes or until roux is dark brown. Add chopped onions, chopped parsley, celery, green onions and garlic to roux. Cook over medium-high heat 5 to 10 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Add broth, okra, salt and red pepper. Cover, simmer 15 minutes. Add shrimp and simmer for 3 to 5 minutes. Serve over hot rice. I really wouldn't put this in a crock pot because of the shrimp, unless it was put in the last few minutes. I have never put this in a crock pot because of that; and also I always wanted to watch this closely! Also, if you look at the time, it doesn't take very long at all to cook this dish. The rice would take the longest!
