Step 1

Heat oil in a saute pan over medium. Stir in onion and saute 2 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.

Add tomatoes, ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar, Worcestershire, soy sauce, bay leaf, Old Bay, oregano, and thyme; bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low, and cook to thicken, 10-15, minutes.

Stir in butter and lemon juice until butter is melted. Season sauce with salt, pepper, and Tabasco. (Blend sauce in a food processor until smooth, if desired, then return to pan.) Add shrimp to sauce and simmer until cooked through, 1-2 minutes per side.

Garnish shrimp with scallions.
