If You Like, You Can Prepare This Dish the Traditional Southern Way by Using a Deep Iron Skillet to Bake It in, but You Can Also Bake It in a Pan With an Ovenproof Handle. You Can Also Use Frozen Okra in Place of the Canned - the Resulting Casserole Will Be Less Soupy and Nicely Thick. Chicken May Be Substituted For the Shrimp, as Well; If Using, Add the Cubed Chicken Before to 30 Minute Simmer. |

Note: Depending on the Size of the Pot You Use to Bake the Casserole in, You Might End Up With Some Leftover Cornbread Dough. Just Bake Up Some More Cornbread Muffins With the Leftover! :). |
