2 lbs frozen shrimp (already deveined)
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 tablespoon salt
1 bay leaf
1/4 cup butter
2 tablespoons green onions, chopped
1/2 cup white wine
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon soy sauce
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/8 teaspoon sweet paprika
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Rinse shrimp under water, getting rid of surface ice crystals. Drain shrimp.

  • Drain shrimp and cover with cold water to chill. Drain shrimp again. Drain on paper towel to remove all moisture. Chill until ready to use.
  • Heat a skillet and add 1/4 cup butter. When melted add shrimp and green onions. Cook over medium heat about 3 minute.
  • Remove from heat and blend in white wine, tomato paste, sugar, salt, soy sauce, cayenne pepper and sweet paprika. Return to heat and simmer 15 minute Remove the shrimp and set aside.
  • In a sauce pan, heat 1 tbsp butter until melted. Add the flour and make a roux by browning the flour a little, stirring constantly. Add 3 tbsp of the shrimp sauce to the roux and stir vigorously. Immediately blend roux into the shrimp sauce and bring to boiling. Cook at boiling 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently.
  • Add the shrimp and cook over medium heat 5 minutes or until thoroughly heated.
  • Serve hot.
