    I've made roux by stirring it for 45 minutes many times. Been baking flour in the oven for a few years now, this is the way.

    I made this last night for dinner! It was deeeeeeliiiccciiooouuusss!!!! The only thing was that I let the pot simmer for like 45 minutes. I couldn’t see how the crabs would cook in only 15 minutes. But the crab meat came out realllly tender and juicy. Next time I may use a different type of crab because the blue crabs legs were sooooooo tiny. We were barely getting any meat out of them. But overall, it was sooo yummy! I’m learning how to cook so much stuff with you!! 🥰🥰

    @nahni339110 ай бұрын

    My absolute 1 favorite takeaway from this video out of every video I have watched on YT about gumbo, is the baked flower for the roux. BUT, I had to exit a little while after that. The precooked shrimp because you don't like adding raw shrimp to your pot. I just don't understand the logic. But to each his own. I ended up returning girl. Yeah yeah, I know!!! You did ya thing frfr tho, it looked amazing. But that seafood flavor you mentioned from the can of crab meat would have been achieved with the raw shrimp being added.

    I usually place it into freezer safe containers that seal well. It can be stored in the fridge for up to 6 months if made with broth or butter. If it's made with only oil, up to a year with proper storage. The way the one is made in the video, I usually put it in the fridge and store it for 2 weeks or in the freezer for 6 months. It works like a charm every single time.
