Cajun are really a unique culture and there are regional differences in both language and food. There are so many different types of gumbos. The file’ and a small amount of roux are used for the thickening agent.
First you make a roux with two large cooking spoons of flour and 1/4 cup cooking oil. Keep the roux consistency more like a liquid rather than thick. Brown the mixture but don't overdo it as it may get a burnt taste.
Add the smothered okra to the roux and cook it for another five minutes, adding onions and scallions.
Add a gallon and half of water, the shrimp and crabs and let it cook down to 3/4 the way. Add the file' (whether or not a roux is made) to taste.
