(It looks like a lot of ingredients, but most of it is stuff you have around the house or easy to pick up at the store)
Ingredients
(serves 5)
-1/2 C chopped green bell pepper
-1/2 C chopped red bell pepper
-1/2 C chopped onion
-1 can (14.5oz) stewed tomatoes, undrained
-1 C spicy hot V8 vegetable juice
-1 tbsp cornstarch
-1 C frozen cut okra
-2 tsp (or more!) dry cajun seasoning
-1 tsp hot sauce (calls for Frank's RedHot)
-8oz shrimp-peeled, deveined, tail off
-8 oz crabmeat
-Black pepper, to taste
Directions
1. In a large pan, combine the tomatoes, vegetable juice and cornstarch. Stir well, making sure the cornstarch dissolves completely. Add frozen okra. Simmer.
2. Avoid tripping over the dog as you cook. This can be tricky because she likes to set up camp right behind you for no good reason.
3. Place your tomato mixture in your 1980's hand-me-down crockpot. If you don't have a 1980's version, it's ok-newer versions will probably work just fine.
4. Add all the other ingredients to your crockpot and cook on 'High'. In the 1980's, there were only 2 settings-low and high- so I'm not sure what temperature 'high' is these days.
5. Cook for about 2 hours on 'high' and ENJOY! This is best when served with some crusty bread.
***Fun add-ins: Andouille sausage, shredded or chopped chicken; Some white or wild rice for a more "Jambalaya" feel.
***Note: if using any raw meats, be sure to cook them before adding to the crock pot. I don't think 2 hours on 'high' will cook chicken thoroughly
