Seasoning mix:

• 1 1/2 teaspoons each: salt, paprika, thyme leaves, garlic powder, ground black pepper, dry mustard, sugar
• 3/4 teaspoon each: ground cumin, white pepper, onion powder

Gumbo:

• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 4 chicken thighs
• 8 cups water or chicken broth
• 8 ounces precooked andouille sausage
• 1/2cup all-purpose flour
• 2 cups chopped onion
• 1 1/2 cups chopped red or green bell pepper

• 1/2 cup chopped parsley
• 1 pound crab meat and shrimp (total)
