Shrimp Sauce

Skin a tumbler of shrimps, boil skins in a tumbler of water; strain this water in two-thirds tumbler butter previously rubbed into a heaped table-spoon flour, simmer a few minutes, add shrimps finely chopped, let stew until done. Little cooking is needed; salt, pepper and catsup to taste. A good fish sauce.
