Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

Gumbo:

In a large saucepan, combine the butter and flour. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the roux (a cooked mixture of flour and fat) turns a light chocolate color. Add the onion, pepper, celery, and garlic. Sauté for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Slowly whisk in the chicken broth and stock. Add the water, bay leaf, thyme, basil, parsley, lemon pepper, cayenne pepper, homemade seasoning, soy sauce, and tomatoes.
Slice the sausage into slices about 1.5 cm thick. Add to the pan along with the okra. Cover the pan and simmer over low heat for 1 to 1.5 hours, stirring occasionally. Add the oysters, crab meat, shrimp, and scallops. Cook for another 15 minutes.

Serve the gumbo with hot rice. Sprinkle with filé powder and stir.

Homemade seasoning:

Mix ingredients together and store in an airtight container for up to 6 months.

Advice: Add the filé powder after dividing the gumbo into individual serving bowls. Adding filé to the pot will make the gumbo too thick, as the filé powder acts as a thickening agent.
