Ingredients
-
2 tablespoons salt-free Cajun seasoning (such as Tony Chachere's)
-
½ teaspoon kosher salt
-
½ teaspoon black pepper
-
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon olive oil, divided
-
½ pound fresh okra, halved lengthwise
-
1 cup sliced red bell pepper
-
1 cup sliced red onion
-
1 ¼ pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined
-
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
-
1 ½ tablespoons fresh lemon juice
-
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
-
3 cups cooked basmati rice
Directions
-
Stir together Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high. Add okra, bell pepper, and onion. Sprinkle with 2 teaspoons of the seasoning mixture, and cook, stirring often, until okra is lightly charred and pepper and onion slices are starting to get tender, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer mixture from skillet to a bowl.
-
Without wiping skillet, add remaining 1 teaspoon oil to skillet. Pat shrimp dry, and toss with remaining seasoning mixture. Add shrimp to skillet, and cook, stirring often, until shrimp are opaque, 3 to 4 minutes.
-
Return vegetables to skillet, and add parsley, lemon juice, and butter. Toss quickly in skillet until butter melts. Serve over rice.
Tips
Prep tip: If you want to peel and devein your own shrimp, buy 1 2/3 pounds raw, unpeeled shrimp.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.
* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
