Make the Roux: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the Duck fat over medium heat. Gradually whisk in the All-purpose flour, stirring constantly until a very dark, chocolate-colored roux forms (about 45-60 minutes). Be extremely careful not to burn it.
Add the Vegetables: Add the Onion, Celery, and Bell pepper to the roux and cook until softened, about 10-12 minutes.
Deglaze and Add Broth: Add the Dry sherry and stir to deglaze the pot. Gradually pour in the Homemade seafood stock, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Add the Cajun seasoning, Smoked paprika, Garlic powder, Black pepper, and Dried thyme. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 60 minutes.
Add the Protein: Add the Smoked Andouille sausage, Crawfish tails, and sautéed Okra to the gumbo. Simmer for 15 minutes. Add the Jumbo shrimp and cook until pink and cooked through, about 3-5 minutes.
Finish and Serve: Stir in the Hot sauce. Ladle the gumbo over the cooked Jasmine rice. Garnish with Chopped parsley.
