Steps:
- Heat 1 1/2 inches of vegetable oil in a medium Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350 degrees F.
- Meanwhile, put the flour in a shallow dish. Lightly beat the eggs with 1/2 cup water in another shallow dish. Whisk the cornmeal, Cajun seasoning and thyme in a third dish. Dredge the okra in the flour, shaking off the excess. Dip in the beaten eggs, then dredge in the cornmeal mixture. Fry, turning as needed, until golden, about 2 minutes. Drain on paper towels and season with salt.
- Stir the remaining flour into the remaining cornmeal mixture. Dip the shrimp in the eggs, then dredge in the flour-cornmeal mixture, turning to coat. Fry the shrimp in batches, turning occasionally, until golden, about 3 minutes. Drain on paper towels and season with salt.
- Season the tomatoes with salt. Serve the shrimp and okra with tartar sauce, lemon wedges and the tomatoes.
KARDEA'S OKRA SOUP WITH SHRIMP
Okra soup is a traditional tomato-based soup that originated in West Africa. While you can add any protein to this dish, I like using shrimp when it's in season in the Lowcountry because it pairs really well with the okra.

Steps:
- For the shrimp broth: Put the shrimp shells, carrots, celery, onions, butter, salt, bay leaf and 10 cups water in a large pot. Bring to a boil for 5 minutes. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for about 45 minutes, making sure to skim off and discard any impurities that rise to the top. Strain the liquid, reserving 3 cups of the broth for the okra soup. Reserve the additional broth for another use.
- For the okra soup: Heat a large gumbo pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, add the olive oil, garlic, onions, green peppers and 1 tablespoon of the butter and saute until the vegetables soften. Next, add the corn, lima beans and Roma tomatoes and mix together. Add the canned diced tomatoes and reserved 3 cups shrimp broth, stir, cover, bring to a simmer and cook for about 20 minutes.
- While the soup is simmering, melt the remaining tablespoon of butter in a medium skillet, add the reserved shrimp and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the shrimp begin to turn pink. Add the okra, ground ginger and lemon juice, stir to mix and then cook until the okra and shrimp are cooked through.
- Once the soup has simmered for 20 minutes, add the shrimp and okra mixture to the soup. Cover and cook for an additional 10 minutes. Stir the soup, then serve over rice (or enjoy it without rice).

Steps:
- Heat oil over medium heat in a deep, heavy pot until very hot.
- Add onion and sautee until translucent.
- Add thyme leaves, bay leaves, and garlic and stir frequently so as not to scorch the garlic about 1 minute.
- Add tomatoes and water, and heat until the edges begin to boil.
- Add the frozen okra and stir.
- Cover the pot.
- Heat about 5 minutes and check, stirring to prevent sticking and to heat through.
- Okra will be"done" when it turns bright green in color.
- Taste for salt and pepper and correct at this point.
- When the okra is bright green, add the shrimp, stirring to combine.
- Cover again and heat about 5 minutes.
- Uncover, and stir again checking for"doneness".
- The dish will be"done" when shrimp is opaque and firm.
- Serve over hot rice.
- Please note that the water measurement is approximate you may need to add a little more to get a thinner consistency.
- Also, I watch my salt intake so I seldom add it to my recipes, so feel free to add it.
- This dish tastes great with a dash or two of hot pepper sauce.
