About 12 years in the past I shared my authentic tackle Okra With Shrimp, and whereas that recipe remains to be highly regarded, I believed I’d share one other model with slight variations with you. One of the vital frequent questions I obtained after sharing a fast Reel on Instagram was, “can I exploit pre-cooked shrimp?“. The quick reply is sure, nevertheless you received’t get a lot (if any) taste from them.
You’ll Want…
2 lbs okra (trimmed)
3/4 lb small shrimp (washed, peeled, deveined)
1 lemon (juice)
3 tablespoon olive oil (divided)
1 teaspoon Caribbean Green Seasoning
3/4 tablespoon salt (divided)
3/4 tablespoon black pepper (divided)
1 teaspoon curry powder
1 medium onion (sliced)
5-7 cloves garlic (smashed)
1 scotch bonnet pepper (non-compulsory)
Notes! I used a complete Scotch Bonnet pepper within the recipe, however you need to use as a lot as you may deal with or depart it out. Might I counsel you observe together with the video beneath as a lot concerning the recipe is mentioned there. If doing this recipe gluten free, please undergo the total listing of elements to make sure they meet your particular gluten free dietary necessities.
Season the cleaned shrimp with 1/3 of the salt, 1/3 of the black pepper, Caribbean Green Seasoning, Curry powder and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Combine effectively and put aside as we prep the okra.
Within the video I defined that I like to clean the okra (say ochro within the Caribbean) and permit them to air-dry for a bit earlier than prepping. Which incorporates eradicating the stems and ends (discard), then slicing every into 1/4 inch items.
Utilizing a dry non-stick (defined why within the video) on a medium flame, add the seasoned shrimp, stir and prepare dinner for 2-3 minutes. Then take away and put aside.
In the identical pan add the remaining olive oil and add the okra. Stir effectively, then add the remaining elements.
After about 25 minutes (attempt to keep the identical warmth and stir each 5 minutes or so), the okra ought to have darkish to golden edges and would have misplaced most of its moisture. As defined within the video, these darkish edges deliver out a stunning sweetness.
TIP! Use a large non-stick frying pan to save lots of on having to go heavy with oil and to keep away from the okra items stacking up. This may create steam, which equals moisture and it’ll end in slimy okra.
When you’re pleased with the feel and colour of the Okra, add the precooked shrimp again to the pan, stir effectively and prepare dinner for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Bear in mind to style and modify the salt on the finish, to your liking and should I like to recommend you will have some sizzling Sada Roti on the facet with this.
