Ingredients

• 12 ounces Andouille sausage, sliced
• 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 8 ounces Shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons Flour
• 1 large Onion, diced
• 1 medium Green bell pepper, diced
• 3 stalks Celery, diced
• 4 cloves Garlic, minced
• 4 cups Chicken broth
• 1 14.5-ounce can Diced tomatoes, with juices
• 1 cup Okra, sliced
• 1 leaf Bay leaf
• 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 4 cups Cooked white rice
• 0.25 cup Chopped green onions, for garnish
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Directions

Step 1

Turn the pressure cooker to sauté mode and heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.

Step 2

Add the sliced Andouille sausage and cook until browned, about 3-4 minutes. Remove sausage and set aside.

Step 3

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the pressure cooker. Stir in the flour and cook, whisking constantly, for 3-5 minutes to create a light roux. It should be golden brown.

Step 4

Add the diced onion, green bell pepper, and celery (the "Holy Trinity") to the roux. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Step 6

Pour in the chicken broth and deglaze the bottom of the pot, scraping up any browned bits.

Step 7

Stir in the diced tomatoes (with their juices), okra, bay leaf, Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper.

Step 8

Return the browned sausage and add the uncooked chicken pieces. Stir to combine.

Step 9

Lock the lid of the pressure cooker and set it to high pressure for 15 minutes.

Step 10

Once the timer is complete, use a quick release to safely release the pressure.

Step 11

Open the lid and switch the pressure cooker back to sauté mode. Stir in the shrimp and let them cook until pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 12

Discard the bay leaf. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.

Step 13

Serve the gumbo hot over a bed of cooked white rice. Garnish with chopped green onions and fresh parsley for added brightness.
