My dear Husband John grew up in Alabama and loves anything Cajun, Southern or Spicy.
I decided to make this Crock Pot Kielbasa and Shrimp Stew Recipe which I almost called Crock Pot Cajun Shrimp Stew for him. I just wasn’t sure what to call it. John called it absolutely delish and a must make again soon.
You have to love when your husband doesn’t care what it is called he just wants a 2nd and 3rd serving of it.
This dish renewed my husbands love for Okra. Now he wants me to make recipes that okra is a focus in them. Any suggestions?
This Pacific Northwest Girl did not grow up with okra so I am not sure what all to do with it.

2 tsp cajun seasoning
3/4 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails on
2 cups frozen sliced okra, 8oz

Be prepared the rice sucks up all of the liquid quickly in this recipe. Once it sits for a bit it isn’t as liquidy as you might imagine for a stew but it is still so good.

I’m not a shrimp fan, but I think this would be delicious with everything else but the shrimp. Yum!
I’ve never seen kielbasa and shrimp together before. What an interesting flavor combination!
