• 2 tbsp butter, oil, or bacon fat if you're going true southern classic
• 1/4 onion, chopped

Method :

1. Season shrimp with salt, pepper, and cajun seasoning.
2. Heat butter in skillet until slightly bubbly. Add the onions, celery, bell pepper, garlic, and jalapeño. Cook until onions are translucent.
3. Whisk in the flour and stir in for about 3-5 minutes to make a blond roux.
4. Add in a small amount of vegetable stock and stir in to make a thick paste. Gradually add the remaining stock in small portions and stir continuously to ensure no clumps. Bring to a boil and then lower to a simmer. You may need to add a bit more vegetable stock, you want the end result to be similar to a thick gravy.
