Servings: persons

2 slices of bacon
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 small sweet onion, finely diced
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 bay leaf
1 thyme sprig
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
2 quarts chicken stock or low-sodium broth
Kosher salt
2 cups Carolina Gold or other long-grain rice (14 ounces), rinsed
1 medium tomatohalved, seeded and diced
1/4 pound okra, trimmed and sliced crosswise 1/4 inch thick
1 pound medium shrimp, shelled and deveined
1 tablespoon minced parsley
2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
Hot sauce, for serving

1
In a large, heavy casserole, cook the bacon in the olive oil over moderately high heat until crisp, about 5 minutes.
2
Using a slotted spoon, remove the bacon; reserve it for another use.
3
Add the onion, garlic, bay leaf, thyme sprig and crushed red pepper to the casserole and cook over moderately low heat, stirring, until the onion is softened, about 5 minutes.
4
Add the chicken stock and 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt and bring to a boil.
5
Add the rice and return to a boil, stirring.
6
Cover and cook over low heat until the rice is barely tender and still quite soupy, about 12 minutes.
7
Add the tomato and okra to the casserole and cook until it is just tender, about 4 minutes.
8
Add the shrimp and cook until pink and curled, 3 to 4 minutes; the rice should still be a little bit soupy.
9
Discard the thyme sprig and bay leaf and remove from the heat.
10
Stir in the parsley and butter and serve, passing hot sauce on the side.
