   Use shrimp peelings to make a stock for the water needed. Use a gallon container to measure the water. This makes a big difference in the taste! Boil peelings until they are pink and floating. Strain water into a bowl and set aside. Begin by making a roux with the flour and oil. Add onions and shallots. Add water, cans of corn (whole & creamed), tomato sauce, tomato paste, and peeled tomatoes. Let mixture come to a boil. Lower the fire and add shrimp. Cook for about one hour. Season to taste. This makes a big magnalite pot full. Feeds about 15-20. This is a recipe I created. It comes out perfect.
