Sauce aux Crevettes, or Shrimp Sauce, made from dried shrimp, peanuts, tomatoes, and onions.
Heat oil in a frying pan. Fry onions for a few minutes. Stir in the okra (if desired) and fry for a few minutes more. Add the tomatoes and continue frying for a few more minutes. Reduce heat. Add the peanut butter and stir until smooth, adding water if necessary (the water the shrimp were soaked in can be used). Add the dried shrimp or prawns. Season to taste. Stir. Simmer on very low heat for ten minutes more.
