Directions
Preheat oven to 350°F. In a 2-gallon stockpot, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add onions, celery, bell peppers, tomatoes, garlic and bay leaves. Sauté 3–5 minutes or until vegetables are wilted. Blend shrimp, crabmeat, crawfish, tasso and tomato sauce into mixture. Whisk flour into vegetable mixture to form a white roux. Slowly add stock or water, a little at a time, until sauce consistency is achieved. Continue adding stock as necessary to retain consistency. Bring to a rolling boil, reduce to simmer and cook 30–40 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add sherry, green onions and parsley. Cook 5 minutes. Season with salt, cayenne pepper and hot sauce. Set aside to cool. Slice French bread in half. Scoop inside out of each half and set aside. Stuff mixture into bottom half of bread. Replace top half, and wrap loaf in foil. Bake 8–12 minutes. Cut into 3–4 inch slices and serve.
