Steps :
- Bring the water to a boil and toss in all the stock ingredients. Boil for 20-30 minutes. Strain stock into a bowl or container and discard the solids.
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high. Add the onions, celery, and garlic. Saute until soft, 5 minutes. Add the flour and tomato paste and toss to coat the veggies. Remove pan from the heat.
- Stir in the milk and broth and whisk until combined. Add the bay leaf, torn basil and hot sauce. Put back on the heat and bring to a boil; reduce and simmer 10 minutes. Toss in some salt.
- Add the shrimp and cook until they’re pink 2 minutes.
- Remove from heat and add the scallions. Taste it. More salt? Do it. More hot sauce? Ohhhh yeah. Get it just right for your taste buds.
- Ladle up and serve with crackers!
