Shrimp Gravy
- This gravy was made for our Cheesy Grits but you may find many other great uses for it, such as sauce for fish or vegetables.
- Substitute crayfish meat for a Mardi Gras or cajun celebration!
- We now only use Laughing Bird white Caribbean shrimp for this recipe. These fresh shrimp are so sweet and flavorful for this recipe and cooking a smaller shrimp gives you more shrimp per bite!
- A big plus is that Laughing Bird Shrimp are probably one of the best sustainable shrimp you can purchase!
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 teapoon Sriracha hot sauce (or 1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper)
- 2 cups small shrimp, peeled and deveined ( I prefer Laughing Bird but gulf or pacific white shrimp work well. 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!
