The pot I made today is twice as much as I usually make but since we have a lot of company here in Florida for spring break I needed more.
I cheat on the Roux and use gumbo mix shown here
http://www.neworleanshowcase.com/la11001.html
1.5 Gallons Of Spring Water
3 Packs Of Gumbo Mix
1 Large Can Chicken Broth
Chopped and sautayed until clear. (This is known as the "trinity")
6 Sweet Onions
3 Bell Peppers
10 Celery Stalks
1 - 2 Minced Garlics
4 - Chopped Chalets (Green Onions)
8 - 10 lbs peeled fresh shrimp small
3 lbs Blue Crab lump meat
3 Teaspoons salt or to taste
6 - 10 Shakes of Tobasco sauce
1 Tablespoon of File' (Sassafras)
Mix it all together and cook on low stirring often for 6 hours.
Serve over white rice with French bread on the side.

You can cut it in fractions to meet your quantity needs.
"Bon Appetit!!!!!!!"
