Stir in holy trinity, ( 1 large bell pepper, med. onion and 2 celery stalks chopped ) I add a 10 oz can of rotell tomatoes but not every one uses tomatoes in theirs. It seems like it depends on where your from. I'll bet "D" can relate to that. Render all this together and add a little water if nessasary to keep it loose. Now I start adding my seasoning, about a tablespoon of Tony's creole seasoning, tablespoon old bay seasoning, teaspoon minced garlic, sprinkle of chives, good splash of liquid crab boil, and anything else you may like for your taste. Bring all this to a simmer then add your seafood or what ever meat you prefer. Simmer on low for while till seafood is cooked, I have to watch my pot to keep it from getting to hot and sticking, sometimes turning my fire off and on from time to time. I sprinkle parsley flakes on top before serving over rice. Keep in mind these amounts are in proportion to 1 pound of seafood and seasoning is to taste. That's the best I can do.
