Ingredients

• 1 pound Shrimp (peeled and deveined)
• 8 ounces Andouille sausage (sliced)
• 4 tablespoons Butter
• 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 1 Yellow onion (diced)
• 1 Bell pepper (diced)
• 2 stalks Celery (diced)
• 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 2 cups Chicken broth
• 14.5 ounces Canned diced tomatoes (with juices)
• 1 cup Okra (sliced, fresh or frozen)
• 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
• 3 cups White rice (cooked)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the flour to create a roux, cooking and stirring constantly for about 5-7 minutes or until it turns a light brown color.

Step 3

Add the diced onion, bell pepper, celery, and garlic to the skillet. Cook for 5 minutes or until the vegetables are softened.

Step 4

Slowly stir in the chicken broth, ensuring no lumps form. Add the canned diced tomatoes and okra, stirring to combine.

Step 5

Season the mixture with Cajun seasoning, then bring everything to a simmer. Let it cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 6

Stir in the sliced andouille sausage and shrimp, cooking for an additional 5 minutes or until the shrimp turns pink and opaque.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from heat and carefully fold in the cooked white rice until everything is evenly combined.

Step 8

Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly. Cover the dish with foil.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes to let the top slightly brown.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and allow the casserole to rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
