1
Set the Instant Pot to sauté mode and add the vegetable oil.
2
When the oil is hot, add the diced onion, celery, green bell pepper, sliced andouille sausages and minced garlic. Stir and cook for 5 minutes.
3
Now, stir in the all-purpose flour to create a roux. Let it cook, stirring constantly, until the flour begins to brown slightly, for about 10 minutes.
4
In this roux mixture, add the Cajun seasoning, gumbo file powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir well to infuse the flavors.
5
Add the sliced okra, crushed tomatoes and chicken broth. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
6
Close the Instant Pot lid, seal the pressure valve and set the pot on manual high pressure for 10 minutes.
7
Once the time is up, carefully release the pressure manually. Open the lid and stir in the raw shrimps.
8
Replace the lid (no need to seal) and let the residual heat cook the shrimp for 5 minutes.
9
Serve the delicious gumbo hot, optionally garnished with chopped green onions and served over a bed of white rice.
