Season with a little salt and let it cook for about 5 minutes or until the seafood is cooked and the Shrimp/prawns have turned pink. Gently remove the seafood from the stock and set aside. Pour out some of the stock just incase it is too much. Pour the pepper mix into the pot with the stock and stir. Bring to a boil and cook for about 3-5 minutes; then add the okra, crayfish and the dry fish; then reduce the heat. Cook for only a few minutes as you do not want the okra to loose it's color and crunch. Stir in the seafood (don't worry about the fish breaking apart) and the tete leaves. Season to taste and set aside. The steam in the soup will cook the vegetables Enjoy with any swallow or even roasted plantains.
