Ingredients

Base

4 tablespoons of bacon drippings (or cooking oil)
1 cup fresh okra, sliced
2 medium-sized onions, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 ½ cups celery, diced
1 quart canned tomatoes (or fresh if available)
3 tablespoons tomato paste
1 teaspoon sugar
Salt and pepper to taste
3 cups cooked shrimp, deveined and tails removed

Instructions

In a large skillet, heat the bacon drippings over medium heat. Add the onions, okra, green pepper, and celery. Sauté for 15-20 minutes until the vegetables are tender and fragrant.

🔥 Cooking the base until it’s softened enhances the flavors and builds a solid foundation for your dish.
Stir in the canned tomatoes, sugar, and tomato paste. Let this mixture simmer for 30-45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens beautifully.

💡 The longer you let it simmer, the more the flavors meld together. Feel free to add a pinch of your favorite herbs (like oregano or thyme) for an extra flavor boost!
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Make sure to taste as you season—everyone’s preference can differ!
Just 15 minutes before you’re ready to serve, stir in the cooked shrimp.

🦐 Shrimp cooking time is quick! Overcooking can make them tough, so add them in close to serving time.
Serve hot over fluffy cooked white rice.

🥄 For a bit of zest, consider garnishing with fresh parsley or a squeeze of lemon juice before serving!

Variations

Spicy Option: Add some chopped jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to heat things up! 🌶️💥
Vegetarian Version: Substitute shrimp with chickpeas for a hearty plant-based meal—just add them during the final simmer.
Seafood Medley: Mix in your favorite seafood, like crab or scallops, for a richer experience. Adjust cooking time accordingly!
Thicker Sauce: For a thicker sauce, mix a tablespoon of cornstarch in water and stir it into the mixture during the last few minutes of cooking.
