Ingredients:

  • 4 tbsp flour
  • 2 celery ribs
  • 1 lb okra
  • 1 (14 oz) can whole tomatoes
  • 1 (14 oz) can rotel tomatoes, diced
  • 1 dash of tony chacere's creole seasoning
  • 5 cups water

Directions:

  1. Make a roux with bacon grease and flour. Be careful not to get it too dark. A light brown roux tastes best in my opinion.
  2. Add onion, celery and bell pepper. Cook on low to soften them up a bit.
  3. Add okra and cook for about 20 minutes.
  4. Add tomatoes and about 5 cups of water. Cook 40 minutes.
  5. Add shrimp. Cook for an additional 20 minutes.
  6. Add green onion tops, and cook 10 minutes.
  7. Serve over white rice.
