Make the Roux: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the Vegetable oil over medium heat. Gradually whisk in the All-purpose flour, stirring constantly until a dark roux forms (about 20-30 minutes). Be careful not to burn it.
Add the Vegetables: Add the Onion, Celery, and Bell pepper to the roux and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the Okra: Stir in the Okra and cook for another 5 minutes.
Add the Broth and Seasoning: Gradually pour in the Chicken broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Add the Cajun seasoning, Cayenne pepper, Garlic powder, Black pepper, and Dried thyme. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes.
Add the Protein: Add the Andouille sausage and Shrimp to the gumbo. Cook until the shrimp is pink and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Serve: Ladle the gumbo over the cooked Rice. Garnish with Chopped parsley.
