Authentic Creole flavors and so easy to make! I used pre-cooked/Cajun-seasoned shrimp which made this gumbo with okra that much easier, but you can just use raw shrimp. Adjust the spice to make it as hot or mild as you'd like.
Pickles can be keto-friendly as long as they don't contain added sugar. In general, you should select dill or sour pickles but avoid sweet,...

Bring to a boil; reduce to a simmer and cover. Let cook for at least 2 hours; the longer it cooks, the more flavor will be in your stock. Meanwhile, devein shrimp by gently running a knife along the back; this will also make your shrimp plump nicely when cooking. Toss shrimp in remaining Cajun seasoning and place in the refrigerator. Melt butter in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add flour slowly, stirring constantly with a whisk or wooden spoon. When all flour is added, continue stirring frequently until roux turns brown in color and has a nutty aroma, about 5 minutes. Add remaining onion and bell pepper; saute with roux until onion is translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in tomato paste. Stir in tomatoes, okra, and shrimp stock slowly. Add crab boil seasoning. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to a simmer and let cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, about 1 hour. Stir in shrimp and continue cooking until shrimp are bright pink but not tough, about 20 minutes.

You may have always heard the longer meat is marinated, the better it’ll taste. But that’s actually not the case. First of all, marinades don’t completely penetrate meat—they work most of their magic on the surface. So, a long overnight soak won’t really make much of a difference versus an hour-long or two-hour soak. Secondly, soaking meat too long in an acidic marinade can weaken the protein bonds on the surface of the meat and turn it all to mush or rubber. A quarter-cup of marinade containing a tablespoon or two of vinegar per steak, chop or breast will do the trick, and you shouldn’t need to marinate for more than an hour for most cuts. Balsamic, white, apple cider and white wine vinegars are all popular choices. It also depends what meat and cut you’re working with. Cuts like brisket, chuck and shank are generally pretty tough, while thinner, naturally juicy meats like chicken breasts, pork chops and beef tenderloin shouldn’t need too much help in the tenderizing department. You can also skip a real-deal marinade and just soak the meat in vinegar for about an hour before cooking. Just poke the meat all over with a fork and let it sit in a modest amount of straight vinegar (or a 2:1 mix of any warm liquid like stock, broth or water and vinegar) in a covered bowl in the fridge. Tenderness aside, vinegar’s sharp flavor is just the pairing for salty seasonings and smokiness. Vinegar also contains natural sugars that caramelize when cooked, making for Insta-worthy grill marks.
