In a medium pot, bring 1.5 cups water to a boil and add the sliced/grated okra.
Season with salt, crayfish and pepper, then leave to simmer on low heat for 5-7 minutes till okra is almost tender.
Add cooked proteins (fish, shrimp, mussels, crabs and clams) and palm oil. Keep on low heat for additional 5 minutes then set pot aside.
Blend the oats in a blender/spice grinder on high speed until it turns to powder.
Pour 1 cup freshly boiled water in a pot and add oatmeal powder little by little until water is almost fully absorbed.
Use a wooden spoon to stir until it becomes even in consistency. Add 1/2 more water to soften and stir again.
(Optional: If you prefer softer “swallows", add an additional 1/2 cup water and stir once more).
Serve seafood okra in a bowl alongside the pounded oats.
