It's mostly an ingredients list, but then, gumbo is one of those kitchen sink recipes.

Of note:

bacon first to render fat to help with the other meats and roux
slice and cook sausage enough to get some crust
cook chicken skin side down first (plus some seasoning on the back; do not fully cook, just building flavor)
chop things in between (throw shrimp shells and veggie scraps into small pot to build out broth)
before starting the roux (equal fat to flour at low/med heat), go to the bathroom, rest a moment, have something pleasant/familiar playing in the background, and grab a fresh beverage
drop temp and carefully dump veggies, then reset temp to med
drop in remaining bits, except for shrimp and simmer a few hours (make rice somewhere in this time)
add shrimp 5 minutes prior to serving
