I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a fan of okra. But I'm so glad I did! The okra added a nice slimy texture to the dish, and it wasn't overpowering at all.

I love how versatile this recipe is. I didn't have any shrimp on hand, so I used chicken and sausage instead. It was still delicious! I also added some chopped bell peppers and celery for extra flavor.
