From: HungryMonster.com
Serves: 1
 

Ingredients:

1 pound medium shrimp -- (20-25/lb)
2 pints shucked raw oysters
1 teaspoon salt to taste
1/3 cup white rice -- (uncooked)
2 cups sliced -- (1/4 inch thick) okra
1 cup stewed tomatoes
2 cloves garlic minced
2 medium onions chopped
1/4 cup sauterne wine
4 tablespoons bacon grease
1 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
3 pieces bay leaves
2 tablespoons file powder or New Orleans crab boil (in a small cloth bag)
1 dash ground dill
1 cup sliced carrot
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/3 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
1/3 cup corn or peanut oil
5 quarts water
1/2 cup finely diced ham
 

Preparation:

Sauté' the onions, Bell peppers, garlic, and celery in the bacon grease. Add to the water which you should then bring to a boil. Add the okra, ham, oysters, and shrimp and boil for 5 minutes. Add the other ingredients now and cook until the rice is done. Sever in soup bowls or over more rice. This is an epicurean experience that cannot be duplicated anywhere except where it is cooked. The meats may be changed to crab and shrimp or crab and oysters, or Turkey and Ham, or chicken and shrimp, or what ever! Serves 6
