Method: 

 

All vegetable are chopped coarse so the ingredients can carmelize and add color to the broth.
Sauté vegetables in 1/2 cup canola oil for 20 minutes on high heat. 
Stir vegetables constantly so the ingredients carmelize evenly and don’t burn.

Add the following dry ingredients to the vegetables.
Add filtered water. Bring to a boil and lower heat to 200 degrees.
Let simmer for 20 minutes to allow the carmelized vegetables to make the base for the gumbo.
Stir in fire-roasted tomatoes and okra.
Bring back to a boil and simmer 20 minutes to allow the okra to begin the thickening process.
Add in shrimp. Cook on medium heat until shrimp begin to turn white. 
Shut off heat, continuing to stir, allowing temperature to begin to drop.

Serve gumbo with scoop of rice on top and garnish with parsley.
