Mom's Shrimp Gumbo

Sorry for the vagueness of this recipe but this is one of those recipes that mom and grandma troutman made and there really isn't any right amount.  Just add seasoning to your taste!  I got this recipe watching mom make it because she doesn't have it written down anywhere.  But I love it and it makes me thing of Mom and Grandma! 

1 bunch green onions
1 bell pepper
1 onion
2 pkgs. frozen okra
celery
Roux

Add all veggies to a big pot!  Sprinkle with Roux.  Cook to a mush which is about 20 minutes and stirring pretty consistently.

Next add the following-
2 cans diced tomatoes
2 cans tomato sauce
salt
pepper
celery salt
tony's seasoning
garlic powder
2 bay leaves

You will want to add water till you get a good consistency.  Add your shrimp at the end and a bit of Gumbo file right before serving.  Serve over rice.

***You can also make this as a Chicken Gumbo.  Just add chicken broth in place of water and chicken instead of shrimp!
