Easy Okra & Shrimp Creole 

Ingredients:

• 1 Tbsp olive oil 
• 1/2 green bell pepper, chopped
• 1/2 small onion, chopped 
• 1 (14.5 oz.) can diced tomatoes
• 1 1/2 links cooked andouille sausage, cut in quarters 
• 1/2 (10 oz. pack of frozen cut okra, thawed 
• 1 tsp cajun seasoning, or to taste 
• 1 tsp salt 
• 1 lbs. peeled & deveined medium shrimp (30-40 per lbs.) 

Directions: 

• Heat olive oil in skillet over medium hear. 
• Stir in bell pepper and onion. 
• Cook and stir until onion has softened and turned translucent - about 5 minutes 
• Stir in the tomatoes and simmer for 10 minutes 
• Add okra, sausage, cajun seasoning, and salt 
• Cover and let simmer for 30 minutes. 
• Stir in the shrimp and cook until they are bright pink on the outside and meat is no longer transparent in the center (8-13 minutes) 
• Remove from heat, pour in bowls and enjoy!! 

** For the picture above, I added the entire bell pepper and all of the sausage. It seemed a little dry so I add a can of tomato sauce to make it a little more liquid. I also added way more cajun seasoning than 1 tsp because I like a little more spice. ** 

I think you should always make a recipe your own and use the original recipe as the base! I hope you enjoy this yummy cajun dish!! 

Love,
