Steps:
- Prepare mashed potatoes or rice. Toss shrimp with salt, pepper and Cajun seasoning; set aside. Cook bacon in a skillet on medium heat until crisp, remove and set aside, leaving drippings in skillet; add shrimp and cook for two minutes; remove and set aside. Add half of the butter to drippings and the onion, bell pepper and celery, cooking for about 3 minutes or just until soft, but not browned. Add the garlic and cook another minute.
- Add remaining butter and begin stirring in flour, a little at a time, until fully incorporated. Cook and stir for 4 minutes. Slowly add broth and bring to a boil, cooking until thickened. Return shrimp and any accumulated juices, along with Kitchen Bouquet, if using; reduce heat to low and let simmer for about 10 minutes or until shrimp is completely cooked through. Set aside a pinch of the bacon for garnish, if desired, and add rest to gravy. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
- Spoon over hot, homemade mashed potatoes or rice, or substitute noodles, grits or biscuits, and garnish with the bacon. Serve with a side of green peas, green vegetable or a nice garden salad and hot bread or rolls.
