Preparation

Step 1

In a large skillet or browning crock pot (we used our Ninja) add ¼ cup of oil or butter and heat over medium high heat. (3-5 minutes)

Add flour and continually stir until flour browns to the color of peanut butter (about 20-25 minutes)

In a separate skillet heat 2 Tbsp oil.
Add okra, garlic, onions and celery to oil and saute until all veggies are wilted and onions are clear.

Add veggies and flour and oil/butter mixture together in your slow cooker and stir.

Stir in chicken broth.

Add Worcestershire sauce, tomatoes, and Old Bay seasoning and stir well.

Cover and cook for 3 hours on HIGH

Add seafood and cook for 30 minutes on HIGH until shrimp is opaque.
Add Creole/Cajun seasoning to taste.

Serve over cooked rice.
