How to Make Shrimp Okra And Tomato Gumbo
- Wash the okra thoroughly under cool water and trim the stem ends.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
- Add the trimmed okra to the hot oil and stir constantly for 10-12 minutes, or until most of the slime is gone and okra begins to brown slightly.
- Add the chopped onion and celery to the pot and cook, stirring frequently, for 5-7 minutes, until softened.
- Stir in the crushed tomatoes, salt, cayenne pepper, bay leaves, and thyme.
- Pour in the water or chicken broth, stir well to combine, and bring the mixture to a boil.
- Reduce heat to medium-low, cover partially, and simmer gently for 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the gumbo.
- Continue to simmer, uncovered, for another 10-15 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and cooked through. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Remove the bay leaves before serving.
- Ladle the gumbo into bowls and serve hot. Enjoy!
