For Sauce: Melt 2 tablespoons butter in saute pan over medium heat. Add onion, bell pepper, celery, garlic and bay leaf. Saute for 1 to 2 minutes.

Add paprika, tomatoes and tomato juice. Stir well. Add Worcestershire sauce and Tabasco. Simmer for 10 minutes, or until reduced by about one-quarter and vegetables begin to wilt.

In small bowl, combine cornstarch and water. Stir until dissolved. Stir into sauce. Cook, stirring for about 2 minutes to cook off raw taste of cornstarch.

For Shrimp: Place second saute pan over medium heat. Add remaining 4 tablespoons butter. Heat until melted. Add shrimp. Saute, stirring constantly, for about 5 minutes, or until pink and tender.

Pour sauce over shrimp. Toss to coat well. Transfer to warmed dinner plates. Serve.
