Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Vegetable oil, for frying
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cups fine cornmeal
2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
1 teaspoon fresh thyme
3 cups fresh or frozen okra (thawed if frozen)
Kosher salt
24 large shrimp, peeled and deveined (tails intact)
3 large tomatoes, cut into wedges
Tartar sauce and lemon wedges, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat 1 1/2 inches of vegetable oil in a medium Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350 degrees F.
  • Meanwhile, put the flour in a shallow dish. Lightly beat the eggs with 1/2 cup water in another shallow dish. Whisk the cornmeal, Cajun seasoning and thyme in a third dish. Dredge the okra in the flour, shaking off the excess. Dip in the beaten eggs, then dredge in the cornmeal mixture. Fry, turning as needed, until golden, about 2 minutes. Drain on paper towels and season with salt.
  • Stir the remaining flour into the remaining cornmeal mixture. Dip the shrimp in the eggs, then dredge in the flour-cornmeal mixture, turning to coat. Fry the shrimp in batches, turning occasionally, until golden, about 3 minutes. Drain on paper towels and season with salt.
  • Season the tomatoes with salt. Serve the shrimp and okra with tartar sauce, lemon wedges and the tomatoes.

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 1/2 cups diced onions (1/4 - 1/2 inch)
2 bay leaves, broken in half
1 teaspoon minced garlic
2 (18 1/8-21 3/4 ounce) cans diced tomatoes
1 cup water
2 (1 lb) bags of sliced frozen okra

salt and pepper
cooked rice

Steps:

  • Heat oil over medium heat in a deep, heavy pot until very hot.

  • Add tomatoes and water, and heat until the edges begin to boil.
  • Add the frozen okra and stir.
  • Cover the pot.
  • Heat about 5 minutes and check, stirring to prevent sticking and to heat through.
  • Okra will be"done" when it turns bright green in color.
  • Taste for salt and pepper and correct at this point.
  • When the okra is bright green, add the shrimp, stirring to combine.
  • Cover again and heat about 5 minutes.
  • Uncover, and stir again checking for"doneness".
  • The dish will be"done" when shrimp is opaque and firm.
  • Serve over hot rice.
  • Please note that the water measurement is approximate you may need to add a little more to get a thinner consistency.
  • Also, I watch my salt intake so I seldom add it to my recipes, so feel free to add it.
  • This dish tastes great with a dash or two of hot pepper sauce.

LIMPIN' SUSAN (OKRA, SHRIMP, AND RICE)



Limpin' Susan (Okra, Shrimp, and Rice) image

In the Charleston tradition and talltales says that this old favorite of the lowcountry is the wife of Hoppin John and her version of his dish with the charleston flavor of shrimp kicked in. It is a one pot meal that we all can appreciate. I prefer a red or orange bell pepper to give additional color

SAZóN-SPICED SHRIMP AND OKRA



Sazón-Spiced Shrimp and Okra image

Fresh okra is wonderfully versatile, and searing it in a hot pan is one way to lend texture while preserving its shape. This dish comes together entirely within a large skillet; you'll work in stages to cook the okra and then the shrimp. A dusting of annatto-infused sazón adds aromatic and earthy flavors, and a tinge of spice. Finished with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime, this dish is perfect for a light evening meal or as part of any warm-weather menu.

Categories     dinner, quick, weeknight, seafood, main course

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 tablespoons grapeseed or other neutral oil
1 pound okra, stem ends trimmed, halved lengthwise
Kosher salt
1/2 small yellow onion, finely chopped (1/3 cup)
2 garlic cloves, sliced
1 jalapeño, thinly sliced
1 pound large shrimp, shelled and deveined
2 teaspoons sazón, homemade or store-bought
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 lime, halved

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add half of the okra, cut sides down, and cook without stirring until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt, toss and cook until tender, about 1 minute more. Transfer to a plate. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in the skillet and repeat the cooking process with remaining okra and an additional 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  • Lower the heat to medium and heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in the skillet (no need to wash). Add the onion and cook, stirring, until softened, about 1 minute. Add the garlic and jalapeño and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the shrimp and sprinkle with the sazón. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are just cooked through and the sazón toasts and becomes fragrant, about 3 minutes.
  • Return the okra to the pan of shrimp and stir just to combine. Remove from the heat, add the cilantro and finish with several squeezes of lime.
