Ingredients

4 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons flour
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 onion, diced
3 celery stalks, diced
28 ounce can diced tomatoes (the big can)
1 ½ pounds chicken thighs, boneless skinless
1 package andouille sausage, sliced
1 pound raw shrimp (add at the end)
1 tablespoon cajun seasoning
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon dried thyme
2 cups chicken broth
1 teaspoon minced garlic
2 cups cooked rice for serving

Steps:

Optional: Make a roux using the optional butter and flour. On the stovetop add the butter to a skillet over medium heat. Once melted and starting to bubble add the flour to the butter. Whisk to combine and continue to whisk until the mixture becomes a dark brown color about 4 minutes. Remove from the heat, set aside until you are ready to add the the crockpot.
Add the diced red bell pepper, onion, celery, diced tomatoes, chicken thighs, sliced andouille, cajun seasoning, salt, thyme, broth, minced garlic, and if you are using it the optional roux from step one. Do NOT add the shrimp yet.
Stir to combine and cook on LOW 6-7 hours or HIGH 3-4 hours.
During the last 15 minutes of cooking stir in the shrimp. I recommend leaving the shells on for maximum flavor but it isn't absolutely necessary. Once the shrimp is pink and no longer translucent the gumbo is ready to eat. Serve over a bed of rice.

LEFTOVER HAM AND SHRIMP SLOW COOKER GUMBO

Leftover Ham and Shrimp Slow Cooker Gumbo image

Great for finishing off that holiday ham that just won't quit! Also able to freeze and save for later if hammed out. Two of my 3 young sons loved it. The third asked for no beans and shrimp which was easy to filter out in his bowl. Husband devoured it and wished it had more shrimp. Overall a success considering it was a week out from daily doses of Easter ham. Serve by itself or over white rice.

Ingredients

1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon dried basil
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
¼ cup butter
1 onion, minced
2 cups frozen cooked peeled and deveined jumbo shrimp
3 cups chopped leftover honey-baked, spiral-cut ham
1 ham bone
2 (15 ounce) cans black beans
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 cup coconut milk

Steps:

Stir garlic, turmeric, chili powder, basil, and cayenne pepper together in a small saucepan; heat over medium heat until aromatic, about 1 minute. Melt butter into the mixture, add onion, and cook until the onion is softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Scoop onion mixture from saucepan into a slow cooker, reserving as much butter in the saucepan as possible.
Increase heat under saucepan to medium-high heat. Saute frozen shrimp in hot butter until just firm, about 2 minutes; transfer mixture to slow cooker. Add ham, ham bone, black beans, and tomatoes to the slow cooker.
Cook on High until the ham on the bone is falling off, 4 to 6 hours (or on Low 6 to 8 hours).
Remove and discard ham bone, stir coconut milk into the mixture, continue cooking on Low until the coconut milk is warmed, about 30 minutes.
