Smothered Okra Wth Shrimp image

A classic southern coastal dish. This version is from Chef Drextal Carter, of The Praline Connection in New Orleans. it was published n The Times-Picayune in anticipation of the French Market Creole Tomato Festival coming this weekend. I plan to make it when my own tomatoes & okra are ready (soon)! Use the freshest ripe red (or black or pink) robustly flavored tomatoes you can get.

This smothered okra with shrimp was an absolute delight! The okra was cooked to perfection, tender and slightly crispy, and the shrimp were plump and juicy. The sauce was flavorful and had just the right amount of spice.
