*** Yumbo Gumbo with Shrimp

• 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
• 1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• One 14.5oz can stewed tomatoes, NOT drained
• 1 cup Spicy Hot V8 vegetable juice
• 1 Tbsp cornstarch
• 1 cup frozen cut okra
• 2 tsp dry Cajun seasoning, or more to taste
• 1 tsp Frank's RedHot Original Cayenne Pepper Sauce, or more to taste
• 8oz raw shrimp, peeled, tails removed, deveined
• 8oz white crabmeat (about two 6oz cans drained)
• Black pepper, to taste
• 3 cups cooked rice

Bring a large pot sprayed with nonstick spray to medium heat. Add bell peppers and onion. Stirring occasionally, cook for about 3 minutes, until tender.

Add tomatoes, vegetable juice, and cornstarch. Stir well, making sure cornstarch dissolves completely. Cook until mixture begins to bubble. Add okra, Cajun seasoning, and hot sauce. Stir and bring mixture to a boil.

Reduce heat to low. Cover and let simmer for 10 minutes.

Add shrimp, and continue to simmer until shrimp are opaque and cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add crabmeat and 3/4 cup water. Raise heat to medium, and return to a boil.

Remove pot from heat, cover, and let thicken for 5 minutes. Season to taste with black pepper. If you like, add a little more Cajun seasoning and Frank's RedHot. Enjoy!
