Question: At what point do you add file powder? Right before adding the shrimp and such?



If you like religion, laws or sausage, then you shouldn't watch them being made.

>>Not an expert<<
I usually do it w/ the other spices, during saute w/ earlier meats and veggies(trinity). It gives them a good coat and the heat does it thing to "express" them (the spices).
I believe this is preferred vs. trying to blend the flavors in w/ stock and such later, particularly as the shrimp goes in last as it cooks so fast.

ETA: I did double check my favorite Chef Paul Prudhomme book and he does as I described above.
I then checked an Emeril book I have and his recipe lists file powder being used at the table for anyone who wants to thicken their gumbo to their desired taste. (As Gustofer mentions below.)

I add it once it's in the bowl.

God bless you folks for adopting Justin! I loved his cooking shows. My parents had several of his albums. Consider myself a Cajun trapped in a northerner's body; have also learnt that i have a lot more French blood than i knew...
He may have been adopted, but he sure did a lot to bring awareness of Cajun culture and cuisine!
