    We love our okra in the South! We eat it fried, stewed, and pickled. It is great in soups, casseroles, and by itself as a side dish. In the summer, I like to slice and  sauté fresh picked okra with fresh corn in a little bit of bacon grease. (That is some good stuff!)

    I, personally, love the real spicy pickled okra. It is the perfect condiment for a Bloody Mary. YUM!

    When I visit my local farmers market, I always buy a jar of the homemade pickled okra. It doesn't last long in my house because everyone in my home likes it. When I was making this recipe, I had to hide the jar to make sure I would have some to use!

    Southern Shrimp Salad

    The key to making this Southern Shrimp salad perfect is to use fresh shrimp. If you want to use frozen shrimp, that is fine as long as they have never been cooked!!!! It will not be as good if you use precooked shrimp, I promise.... You will loose that sweetness of the shrimp and your salad will be boring.

    I like to serve this salad with a bed of arugula, sliced tomatoes, and okra. It really is a winning combination. However, it would be just as lovely in a buttery croissant.

      I have a serious love for okra, any okra makes me happy, sautéed, roasted, grilled, chips, and pickled. The addition of avocado looks divine. I’ve never made shrimp salad this is a perfect lunch recipe.
