Ingredients
- 2/3 cup olive oil
- 2/3 cup all purpose flour
- 1 large onion, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 10 garlic cloves, minced
- 15 oz can diced tomatoes
- 12 oz okra, sliced (fresh and steamed, or frozen and thawed)

- 2 1/2 cups cooked brown rice
Instructions
- Combine the oil and flour in a dutch oven. Stir over low heat for 15-20 minutes or until the sauce is about the color of peanut butter. This is your roux.
- Add onions, peppers, and garlic. Saute about 5 minutes or until starting to soften.
- Mix in tomatoes and okra. Saute 1-2 minutes.
- De-glaze with the white wine and let the wine reduce to about half.
- Mix in water, stock, and seasonings (salt through cayenne). Let simmer for 20 minutes so the flavors can meld.
- Mix in rice and shrimp. Simmer for 10 more minutes, or until the shrimp is opaque and cooked through.
