"First you make a roux!" In a large black iron skillet, add oil and cook at 350 degrees or medium fire. Stir in the flour, allow to brown, but not burn or stick, stirring and scraping pot frequently.
When mixture is a beautiful golden brown, turn off fire and let cool so oil comes to top and the browned flour packs to the bottom.
After cooled to room temperature, remove oil from top, saving brown roux.
In aluminum pot, add water and onions and boil until tender.
Add MAGIC SWAMP DUST, Seafood Boil, and mushrooms, bring back to a boil.
Add roux & stir 5 minutes.
