Ingredients
-
2 lb shrimp
2 lb okra
2 T veg oil
1 stick margarine
4 T flour
1 green bell pepper
2 stalks celery
2 cloves garlic
1 T worcestershire sauce
1 T chopped scallions
1 onion
about 1.5 quarts water
Tony Chachere's creole seasoning (essential!)
Directions
Chop okra
Fry it about 10 minutes in veg oil and set aside
In dutch oven, heat margarine over med-lo heat, and add flour, stirring constantly, to make roux (when it's caramel colored, it's done)
Add all the vegetables and cook until wilted
Add water (vary according to how soupy you like it), seasonings (according to taste), and cook for 1/2 - 2 hours.
Note if you use Tony's seasoning it contains salt, so you don't need additional salt!
Add the shrimp last and cook 5-10 minutes more, until it's pink.
Serve over rice.
