Here's what you need:

1 lb of fresh shrimp (uncooked)
1 green bell pepper
1 red or yellow bell pepper

A mini step by step below:
 |
| I make this recipe in a dutch oven- I'd love to get one from Le Cruset, but I actually got this one from Ikea for $19.99 and it's been pretty great! |
 |
| Cook your italian sausage and andouille sausage |
 |
| Chop your onion (and remember not to chop the "butt of the onion off" or you'll be crying...and add to the sausage as it's cooking. Also chop your 2 bell peppers and add. |
 |
| Here's what the cooked sausage, onion, and peppers look like. |
 |
| Add your 2 cans of diced tomato + your 6 cups of Chicken broth and simmer on low |
 |
| Add your creole or cajun seasoning. If your seasoning has salt in it, go easy on it. I also added 1 TBSP of red pepper flakes to add a little heat. |
 |
| When the soup has simmered on low for 45 minutes add your uncooked shrimp, 1/2 cup of rice, and your fresh or frozen Okra. cook another 30 minutes. |
