Shopping List
one half of a medium sized yellow onion-chopped
two cloves of garlic
one lb of shrimp( can be cooked or uncooked..I always buy cooked shrimp and just throw it in there last second)
one bag of frozen okra
one jar of tomato sauce
one jar of rotel
one green bell pepper-chopped
one package of bacon-chopped in to small bits
cayenne pepper
salt and pepper
tony sacherys or cajun all seasoning
cumin
Procedure
- In a Cast iron skillet start by sautéing the bacon
- to the bacon add the onions and garlic and sautee until clear and fragrant
- add your chopped bell pepper and bag of frozen okra. Cook until wilted and soft
- Once veggies are wilted and soft add your can of rotel and a HALF can of tomato sauce let simmer
- once veggies are coated with the sauce and starting to simmer then flavor it with cayenne, salt, pepper, and Cajun all seasoning.. taste it until it is to your liking or spice level.
- lastly once everything is tasting right add your shrimp. If you chose to do uncooked shrimp you will want it to cook in the pot for about 5-7 minutes(until pinked) if you used cooked shrimp like I do then you can just throw it in there for about three minutes.
- Serve and Enjoy!
