Heat the remaining 1 Tbsp. oil over medium-high heat. Add garlic, Cajun seasoning, and thyme; cook and stir 30 seconds. Add okra; cook and stir 1 minute. Add sweet pepper, onion, and celery; cook and stir 2 to 3 minutes or until crisp-tender. Add tomatoes and hot pepper sauce; cook and stir 1 to 2 minutes or until tomatoes begin to soften. Return shrimp and sausage to wok along with any juices; heat through. Serve over rice with lemon wedges and top with parsley.
Produce Prep
There is no great mystery to preparing okra. Simply wash the pods and trim off the tough stems. Slice pods. Stir-frying okra in a very hot skillet reduces its natural stickiness.
