- 4 Tablespoons butter
- 1 large onion diced
- 1 rib celery diced
- 1 green bell pepper diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

- 1 Tablespoon flour
- 1/3 cup dry white wine optional
- 1 15 oz can diced tomatoes
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 2 bay leaves
- 2 lb large uncooked shrimp about 32

Add butter to a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, celery, bell pepper, and garlic and sauté until veggies are lightly browned.
In a small bowl whisk together the thyme, salt, pepper, cayenne and flour. Stir into onion mixture and cook for 2 minutes.
Deglaze the pan with wine (if using) and then add chicken stock, tomatoes, bay leaves and hot sauce. Reduce heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
