Ingredients

  • 1 pound Lobster Meat
  • 1 pound Shrimp tail-on
  • 1 cup Rice
  • 2 cups frozen Okra
  • 13 oz Canned Crushed Tomatoes
  • ¼ cup Green Seasoning
  • 1 Scotch Bonnet or Habanero Pepper
  • 1 medium yellow onion diced
  • 4 cloves Garlic diced
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
  • ½ teaspoon Allspice
  • 1 Bay Leaf
  • 3 sprigs Fresh Thyme
  • 3 cups Chicken Stock low sodium
  • ¼ cup Sour Orange Juice or equal parts lime and orange juice
  • ½ cup Brandy White Wine can be used instead

Instructions

  • Mix dry spices in a small bowl or ramekin. Set aside.
  • Heat a saucepan on medium heat and add olive oil. Add the onions and saute 2-3 minutes.
  • Puncture holes in the sides of the chili pepper using a sharp knife.
  • Add a quarter of the seasoning spice mix. Add the garlic, mix well and allow to cook for about 30 seconds.
  • Add the brandy and deglaze the bottom of the pan by scraping up any brown bits at the bottom of the pan. After the alcohol cooks off add the rice.
  • Mix the rice in well then let sit undisturbed as the rice toasts some. Add the green seasoning, chicken stock, crushed tomatoes and half the remaining spice mix.
  • Add the bay leaves plus the okra and sour orange juice. Stir then cook for about 15-20 meats as the rice and okra absorb some of the flavors.
  • Add the shrimp and lobster. Stir in well and allow to cook for another 5 minutes. Once the rice has absorbed most of the liquid you can remove off heat and prepare for serving.

  • Build depth by creating an aromatic base with ingredients like onions, garlic, and shallots.
  • Cook slowly to allow the flavors time to come together.
