Okra and Shrimp Creole

This bold Louisiana-style stew brings together shrimp and okra in a rich, spiced tomato sauce loaded with the classic Creole trinity of onion, celery, and bell pepper. Served over fluffy white rice, it is a deeply satisfying one-pot meal that brings all the spirit of New Orleans cooking to the summer table.
