Preparation:
In a saute pan, brown the sausage slices, remove and set aside. Add the vegetable oil and flour to the pan, cooking and stirring on low heat until you have achieved a dark, chocolate color and the flour is cooked. You can choose to do this for as long as you like!
Add the bell pepper, celery, garlic, then cook until the vegetables are soft. Sprinkle the vegetables with about 2 tbsp of file powder and 1 tbsp of Emerils essence. Add the chicken broth, stirring until smooth. Bring to a boil and simmer for 20-30 minutes. Adjust seasonings with salt, pepper, file powder and Emerils essence.
Add the shrimp and parsley, cooking for another 2-3 minutes.
Eat as is or serve over rice, as you like, sprinkled with sliced scallions.
