1 1/2 cups water
1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tomato, large, fresh, ripe, finely chopped, with juices
1/2 to 2 Guinea peppers or scotch bonnet chiles, seeded and minced (for a hotter sauce, leave the seeds in)

salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

1. Combine the water, onion, garlic, tomato, Guinea pepper, ginger, bay leaf, and shrimp in a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer gently until the shrimp are soft, about 5 minutes.

Return to low heat and continue simmering until the sauce is thick and richly flavored, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl, cover, and refrigerate until ready to serve.
