Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds okra, tipped and tailed to make 1 pound (because fresh okra is not readily available in my area, I'd use frozen which is available)
- 1 cup butter (2 sticks)
- 4-6 garlic cloves, chopped
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/2 - 1 tablespoon fresh marjoram, chopped
- 1/2 to 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 pounds large shrimp, in the shell
- Kosher or coarse sea salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
How to Make
-
Step 1: Bring pot of water to a boil, add the okra, and boil for 2 minutes. Drain and refresh under cold water. Drain again and set aside.
-
Step 2: Melt the butter in a large skillet. Add the garlic, cayenne, marjoram, and rosemary and cook over medium heat for a few minutes without browning. Add the shrimp and cook until they are pin on one side, about 2 minutes; turn.
-
Step 3: Add drained okra and cook until the shrimp are pink on both sides and cooked through and the okra is reheated, about 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve immediately. Enjoy!
