Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 pounds small okra
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 cups chopped, peeled, and seeded fresh tomatoes, or 2 cups chopped canned tomatoes
1 cup chopped onions
1 cup chopped celery
1 3/4 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
5 bay leaves
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
2 quarts water
2 pounds medium shrimp, peeled and deveined

Steps:

  • Wash the okra in cool water. Remove the caps and tips and cut into 1/4-inch rounds. Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Fry the okra, stirring constantly, for 10 to 12 minutes, or until most of the slime disappears. Add the tomatoes, onions, and celery and cook, stirring often, for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the okra and other vegetables are soft and the slime has completely disappeared. Add the salt, cayenne, bay leaves, thyme, and water. Stir and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes. Add the shrimp and cook, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes. Remove the bay leaves and serve in deep bowls.

This gumbo was a bit too thick for my taste. I would add more water next time.

This gumbo was a bit too spicy for me, but it was still really good. I would definitely make it again, but I would use less cayenne pepper next time.

I'm not a huge okra fan, but this gumbo was still really good. The shrimp was cooked perfectly and the sauce was flavorful. I would definitely make this again, but I might leave out the okra next time.
