Usually this recipe calls for a stick of butter per pound and heavy whipping cream.  We’re taking a lighter route.  After you take the heads off of your shrimp.  Set a cup full of heads on the side.  Bring 2 cups of water the cap of crab boil and 2 bay leaves to a rolling boil.  Turn heat off and remove the shrimp heads.

In a large pan.  Melt butter add flour and mix to a smooth paste.  Slowly add in the shrimp water and Worcestershire sauce.

You should have a smooth gravy.  Add in your other ingredients and cook together for 10 minutes.
