Smoked Sausage and Shrimp Gumbo 

Add butter and olive oil to a large stockpot over medium heat. Cook onions, celery, carrots, and bell pepper until softened, stirring occasionally, about 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in Cajun seasoning and salt.

Whisk in flour. Continue cooking over medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes or until flour is toasted, being careful not to burn. Slowly stir in chicken broth, whisking constantly until smooth and combined. Bring to a boil. Cover and simmer 10 minutes.

Stir in smoked sausage, shrimp, and okra. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, 10 minutes or until shrimp are cooked through and opaque. Remove from heat.
