This is from a Pierre Franey book and is great:

Melt butter in a large frying pan over high heat. Add shrimp and salt and
pepper and cook, stirring for 1 minute. Add the hot Creole Sauce and cook,
stirring for 2 minutes, or until the shrimp turns pink.

Serve over rice and top with parsley.

Creole Sauce: Melt butter in a sauce pan. Add the onion, garlic, celery,
and green pepper. Cook and stir for 5 minutes over medium heat. Add the
tomatoes, tomato paste, and clam juice. Stir well, and add all the
remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer for
about 15 minutes stirring occasionally. Remove the thyme and bay leaves
before serving. Refrigerate or freeze to remove fat, if desired.
