I thought I saw a recipe on here once for shrimp with okra. I did a search but can not find it.

Any one have it?

Ja_dreamin, I'm pretty certain that I never posted a shrimp and okra recipe here unless I was talking about gumbo, but I did have one in my favorites similar to how my grandmother used to cook it.

(Note: She used chicken broth and not wine.)

Ingredients:

1 pound okra, trimmed, washed, sliced
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons butter
1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
1 green bell pepper; seeded and coarsely chopped
4 large tomatoes; peeled, seeded and chopped
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
salt
black pepper
1 to 1 1/2 pounds shrimp; peeled and deveined
hot cooked rice

Preparation:
Heat the oil and butter in a large skillet until the butter is melted. Add the onion and bell pepper; toss to coat evenly. Stir in the okra and cook over medium heat until the onion is translucent.

Add the tomatoes, wine, lemon juice, parsley, salt, and pepper. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes soften. Add the shrimp and continue cooking for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the shrimp turns pink and opaque.
Serve with hot cooked rice.
Serves 4.
