shrimp and okra gumbo

Post by snowbirdie »

Hi folks,
          Today I made this soup and it was so good I thought I would post it here.
          prep time 15 minutes            Ready in 2 hours and 15 min.
          cook time 2 hours

Okra,shrimp and a variety of sauteed vegetables are used to create a thick stew,even without the dark roux found in traditional gumbo recipes.

Ingredients
2 pounds medium shrimp-peeled and deveined            1 tomato chopped-I used a can hunts diced tomatoes-small can
salt and pepper to taste                                              1 cup chopped onion
cayenne pepper to taste                                              4 cloves garlic minced
1/2 cup olive oil( I used much less)                              1/2 cup chopped celery
2 pounds chopped/ sliced okra                                    1/2 cup green bell pepper chopped
1 tablespoon tomato paste.                                          12 cups water
