R-Dubb, okra is a veggie that's pretty popular in the South (U.S. - if you're elsewhere) In gumbo, it's used for some flavor, but mostly as a thickening agent. A lot of people deep-fry their okra. But Hell, we deep-fry everything!
I just finished off a gumbo made with chicken and sausage. I threw in a pound of shrimp for good measure. I have never added tomato paste or sauce to mine though. I guess it might give it an interesting flavor. I'll try it sometime.
