Toms Simple Shrimp And Crab Gumbo

An easy and healthy gumbo that is relatively easy and simple to make. I use smart balance butter for a mostly fat free dish.

Steps

Chop onion , jalapeo and bell peppers , celery and garlic.
Set aside.
Start rice and cook accordingly and when finished set aside.
In medium to large pot over medium heat , add the vegetables and smart balance or butter and cook the vegetables until they start to soften , about 5 to 10 minutes.
Reduce heat to low and add to the pot diced tomatoes , tomato sauce , salt , pepper , cajun seasoning , thyme and hot sauce.
Simmer 5 to 10 minutes , stirring occasionally.
To the pot add the shrimp , crab and okra.
Simmer another 5 to 10 minutes , stirring occasionally.
To the pot add the cooked rice.
Cover pot and simmer for the final 10 minutes , stirring 1 or 2 times.
Enjoy.
Makes about 4 or 5 bowls of gumbo.
