Add tomatoes, chili sauce, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper and hot sauce. Reduce heat to low; simmer until thick, stirring occasionally (about 7-10 minutes). Add shrimp and cook just until pink (about 5 minutes). Serve over rice and garnish with cooked bacon and fresh parsley, if desired.

The seasoning in this recipe is just wonderful...perfect amount, perfect flavor. We put our shrimp in towards the end of the cooking time rather than leave it in the whole 60 minutes. It turned out great!

Steps:
- 1. Saute celery, onion, okra and shrimp in bacon fat.
- 2. Add tomatoes, chili powder, salt, pepper, vinegar and sugar.
- 3. Mix enough water and flour to make a creamy sauce. Add gradually remaining water. Simmer 60 minutes.
- 4. Mom always put it over brown rice, wonderful salad and garlic bread. Gosh, I hope you like it. We love it.
- 5. NOTE: I know y'all are questioning the length of time cooking the shrimp. This is a very old recipe and the older ladies back in the day cooked everything possibly longer than needed. I have added the shrimp at the end and it was wonderful. It is up to you.

Steps:
- Place the shrimp in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate to marinate while you prepare the vegetables.
- In a heavy-bottomed skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and celery and cook until soft and translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 45 to 60 seconds. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring constantly, an additional 5 minutes. Add the tomato sauce, sugar, water, and cayenne pepper. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then decrease the heat to low. Simmer until the oil rises to the surface, stirring occasionally, about 40 minutes. (Use more water if the sauce gets too thick.) Add the shrimp and cook until pink, 3 to 5 minutes. Taste and adjust for seasoning with salt and pepper. Garnish with the green onions. Serve with rice pilaf.
