    Method

    • Begin by heating the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat.

    • Next, add the thyme, cayenne pepper, paprika, oregano, and black pepper and stir to combine.
    • Pour in the chicken broth and diced tomatoes and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes.
    • After 15 minutes, add the okra and simmer for an additional 10 minutes. 
    • Finally, add the shrimp and crawfish and simmer for 5 minutes until the shrimp is cooked through.
    • Stir in the parsley, remove from the heat, and serve over cooked white rice.
