How to Make Where's The Sin Shrimp Chicken Gumbo

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread 1/2 cup all-purpose flour evenly on a small baking sheet. Bake, stirring occasionally, until a dark nut-brown color (about 20-25 minutes).
In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt 2 tablespoons butter and 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat. Add 1 cup chopped celery, 1 cup chopped onion, 1 green bell pepper (chopped), and 4 cloves minced garlic.
Cook for 10-12 minutes, or until vegetables are softened.
Season generously with salt and black pepper.
Stir in the dark roux (from step 1) and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
Gradually whisk in 2 cups of chicken broth or water. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. The mixture will begin to thicken.
Add 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces, and 2 more cups of chicken broth. Bring to a simmer and cook until chicken is cooked through (about 20-25 minutes).
Add 1 bay leaf, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or to taste), and 1 cup sliced okra.
Simmer for 10 minutes.
Gently stir in 1 lb peeled and deveined shrimp. Cook until pink and opaque (about 3-5 minutes).
Remove bay leaf before serving. Serve hot over cooked rice.
