How to make Fernandina shrimp gravy

• In a heavy, medium-size skillet, stir the sugar over moderate heat until it begins to melt.
• Continue to cook until the syrup turns golden.
• Add the tablespoon of water, protecting your hands with a pot holder as the hot sugar may spatter.
• Stir until the sugar is dissolved. Set this caramel aside.
• In a large skillet or saute pan, cook the salt pork until browned, stirring now and then.
• Remove the pork bits with a slotted spoon and set aside.
• Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of pork drippings.
• Add the onion, green and red peppers and celery.
• Saute until the vegetables are tender.
• Add the shrimp and cook until they turn bright pink and are opaque, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Remove the shrimp and vegetables with a slotted spoon and keep them warm on a plate.
• Add the remaining 1 cup water and 1 teaspoon of the caramel to the pan drippings.
• Bring to a boil, stir, and simmer 1 to 2 minutes.
• Season with salt, black pepper and crushed red pepper.
• Return the shrimp and vegetables and the salt pork bits to the gravy and heat a minute or two.
• Serve hot over rice.
