Shrimp Gravy

This gravy was made for our Cheesy Grits but you mayfind many other great uses for it, such as sauce for fish or vegetables.
Substitute crayfish meat for a Mardi Gras or cajun celebration!

Ingredients

1/4 sweet onion, finely chopped
2 teaspoons garlic, minced
1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
2 cups shrimp (or lobster) stock
3 tablespoons flour
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1/4 cup ketchup
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon Sriracha hot sauce (or 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper)
2 cup small shrimp, peeled and deveined ( I prefer gulf or pacific white shrimp. Do not use tiger shrimp)

Directions

Melt butter in saucepan, saute onions and garlic until soft, about 3 minutes. Add shrimp, cook 2 to 3 minutes, stir in salt and pepper. Add flour, stirring well, cook about 3 minutes. Add tomato paste, ketchup, and worcestershire. Stir in stock, bring to a boil. Taste for salt, adjust if necessary.
Makes enough for a batch of Cheesy Grits or 2 to3 pounds of fish and/or vegetables. Enjoy!
