Shrimp Gumbo with Okra
I kinda winged this shrimp gumbo with okra recipe, but it turned out great! It has real Creole flavors and is so easy to make! I used pre-cooked, Cajun-seasoned shrimp, which made this gumbo with okra much easier, but you can use raw shrimp. Adjust the spice to make it as hot or mild as you like. Leftovers freeze well. Serve with rice and/or crusty French bread!
