Preparation

  1. Fry the bacon in a heavy skillet and remove from the pan; set aside. Sauté the onion in the bacon grease until soft. Add the shrimp and stir for a minute or two. Stir in the flour until the shrimp are coated. Add the ketchup and Worcestershire sauce, then slowly stir in 1 1/2 to 2 cups of water—enough to make a good gravy. Add House Seasoning to taste.
