Here’s a recipe directly from The American Woman’s Cook Book from 1938.
Clean onions, reserving green tops.
Chop and sauté with okra in bacon fat.
Add tomatoes and cook 5 minutes.
Add stock, peppers, green onion tops cut into strips, thyme, bay leaf, and salt.
Heat to boiling and cook 10 minutes.
Add shrimp, cut into halves, cover closely and simmer 1 1/2 hours.
Serve with rice.
