1. Cook bacon in heavy Dutch oven over medium heat until crisp. Drain on paper towels.

Stir in onion, diced bell peppers, garlic, salt, black pepper, thyme and red pepper. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender, 10 minutes.

3. Gradually stir in broth, then okra, tomatoes and green onions. Return to simmer and cook, covered, until mixture is thickened and vegetables are tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in snapper and shrimp; cook 5 minutes more. Stir in bacon. Serve over cooked rice. Makes 6 servings.
