1 1/2 c. small peeled raw shrimp
2 tbsp. chopped onion
1 tsp. chopped green pepper
3 tbsp. bacon grease
salt and pepper to taste
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp. ketchup
1 1/2 tbsp. flour
1 c. water or more

Fry onion and green pepper in bacon grease. When onion is golden, add shrimp; turn these several times with onion and pepper. Add enough water to make a sauce (about 1 cup). Do not cover shrimp with water or your sauce will be tasteless. Simmer 2 or 3 minutes and thicken with flour and a little water made into a paste. Add seasoning, Worcestershire sauce and ketchup. Cook slowly until thickens. Serve with grits, rice or hominy.

Serves 4.
