This longer ingredient list is worth the effort for a special occasion meal. If you're not a fan of okra, you can leave it out of this dish.

This looks great!


Yummy, sounds delicious!


I really really dislike okra, but this recipe sounds nice. Do you think there is anything that could be a good substitute? I know okra is key in many cajun dishes and it helps bind things together. Maybe i'll give it another try in this recipe, but if you have a good substitution please let me know! :)


I love okra and shrimp....have you ever tried just smothering down the okra with onions, then adding the shrimp? It is to die for...this sounds delicious with the parmesan and soup. YUM!
