Okra and Shrimp Stew
I'm catching up here - I made this dish nearly two weeks ago, when I picked up that okra at 99 Ranch. It was tasty enough to be recorded for future reference, so I scribbled down a few notes, but I didn't get around to putting together this post until today.
One nice thing about this recipe is that it's really quick. It only takes about 20 minutes to put together.
I adapted this recipe from a recipe in Barbara Kafka's Vegetable Love
This makes a fairly brothy stew. I just served it up in shallow bowls, but it would be terrific over rice or couscous.
Ingredients
- 6 oz. medium-sized shrimp
- ~3/4 lb. okra, cut into 2 inch lengths
- 1 15 oz. can diced fire-roasted tomatoes, undrained
- 3 medium-sized roasted red peppers, cut into strips
- 1 tsp. Cajun seasoning
- 1/2 cup of chicken stock
- 1 Tbsp. olive oil
The Steps
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the okra. Cook, stirring, until bright green, about 4 minutes. (The okra really does turn a nice bright green. Pretty neat.
- Add roasted peppers, tomatoes, Cajun seasoning, broth, and shrimp. Stir everything together.
- Bring to a boil, and cook until the okra is tender and the shrimp are cooked through. Maybe 4 to 5 minutes.
