Bay leaves
1 1/2 tablespoons

In a large Dutch oven on the stovetop, heat oil. Gradually add flour to form a roux, stirring continuously as to not burn. When it reaches the color of chocolate, add onion until transparent, about 5 minutes. Add bell pepper and celery, and continue to cook in the roux until softened, about 4 minutes. Stir in the seasoning.
Add the stock slowly. Add the Andouille and stir. Bring to a boil and simmer for 30 minutes. Stir in shrimp and continue to simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes.
