Instructions
Melt butter in a dutch oven or pot over medium heat.
Add onion, pepper, celery and garlic and sauté, stirring often until tender, about 6-8 minutes.
Add diced tomatoes, chicken broth, hot sauce, bay leaves, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper and thyme.
Bring to a boil and reduce the heat to a low simmer. Continue to cook for 20-30 minutes, or until the broth reduces by about half.
Stir in the raw shrimp and cook for another 10 minutes. Remove bay leaves.
Serve with rice.
