Preparation

Step 1

Directions

Cook the bacon over medium heat in a heavy saucepan until crisp, stirring frequently. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain
on a paper towel.

Discard all but 2 tablespoons of the fat, then add the vegetables (except the okra), 4 cups of broth, Worcestershire, salt,
and thyme. Cover and simmer over medium heat for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.

Add the okra and cook 10 minutes longer.

Stir in the shellfish and cook 5 minutes more, or until the shrimp curl and turn pink.
