Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb Andouille Sausage
  • 1 lb Shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 2 tbs Avocado Oil
  • ½ stick Butter 180g
  • ½ Cup All Purpose Flour
  • 1 Bell Pepper diced
  • 3 Stalks Celery diced
  • 1 Onion diced
  • 4 Garlic Cloves Minced
  • 2 tbs Creole Seasoning
  • 2 tbs Worcestershire Sauce
  • 2 tbs Hot Sauce franks works well
  • 10 oz Okra frozen and sliced
  • 14 oz Crushed Tomatoes
  • 4 cups Chicken Broth

Instructions
 

  • Turn on the Instant Pot’s saute setting.
  • Add 2 tbs of avocado oil and andouille sausage.  Cook andouille sausage until browned, stirring frequently.
  • Add in chopped celery, onions, garlic, and bell pepper. Continue to cook on the saute setting, until softened. Turn off the sauté feature.
  • In a separate pan, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour and stir continuously, paying careful attention not to burn. You will want to keep cooking for about 10 to 15 minutes to create a thick, brown color roux. Remove from heat once ready.
  • Add the roux to the vegetable and sausage mix, combine well. Add chicken broth, hot sauce, creole seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, okra, canned crushed tomatoes. Cover and lock the lid. Cook on manual high for 10 minutes.
  • Choose a fast release. Remove the lid. Turn on the saute setting again. Add in the shrimp and cook an additional 5 or more minutes until the shrimp is completely cooked. Turn the Instant Pot off.

Notes

If you prefer a thicker gumbo, after pressure cooking and adding the shrimp, turn on the Instant Pot to saute mode. In a small bowl, mix together ¼ cup cornstarch with ¼ cup water until smooth.
Slowly pour it into the Instant Pot Gumbo while stirring until desired thickness is reached.
