Preparation

Step 1

1. Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium heat; add flour and stir until blended. Cook, stirring constantly, until golden brown, about 12 minutes. Add 1 cup of broth and bring to boil, stirring frequently. Boil until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes (mixture will still be lumpy).

2. Add celery, onions, bell pepper garlic and bay leaf to skillet; cook stirring constantly, until vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.

3. Transfer vegetable mixture to 5- to 6-quart slow cooker. Stir in kielbasa and remaining 1 1/4 cups broth. Cover and cook 4-6 hours on high or 8-10 hours on low. About 30 minutes before cooking time is up stir in shrimp and cook until just opaque in center, about 20 minutes longer. Discard by leaf. Serve gumbo sprinkled with scallions.

Serve this gumbo with a bowl of brown rice (2/3 cup cooked brown rice per serving will increase the PointsPlus value by 3)
