Cooking Steps
- Prepare the fresh okra by washing and slicing it into bite-sized pieces. Dice the Roma tomatoes, peel and devein the colossal shrimp, and chop the onions.
- In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, add the extra virgin olive oil and let it heat for a minute. Sauté the shrimp until they turn pink, about 6 minutes, then remove and set aside.
- Using the same saucepan, add the sliced okra and chopped onions. Cover and cook on low heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, Cajun seasoning, minced garlic, and other spices to the okra and onions. Add enough water or broth to create a sauce, and stir well to combine.
- Reduce heat to medium-low, cover the pan, and let it simmer for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Return the cooked shrimp to the saucepan, gently fold them in, and cook for an additional 10-15 minutes, allowing the shrimp to heat through.

Notes
