Heat in a large, heavy saucepan over medium heat:
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
Add:
1 medium onion, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 red bell pepper, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 green bell pepper, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 celery stalk, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 bay leaf
2 teaspoons dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon salt
Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened, about 10 minutes. Add and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes:
3 cloves garlic, minced
Add and cook, stirring, for 1 minute:
2 tablespoons tomato paste
Add and cook for 5 minutes more:
1 cup canned tomatoes, crushed
Add:
1 1/2 cups chicken stock or fish
1 teaspoon salt
Bring to a simmer, cover, and simmer for 25 minutes. The sauce can be made 1 day ahead; in fact, the flavors tend to blend and mellow overnight.
Shortly before serving, heat in a large, heavy pan over high heat until the oil is smoking:
1 tablespoon olive oil
Meanwhile, dust:
1 1/4 pounds large shrimp, in their shells
with:
1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
Add about half the shrimp to the hot oil and cook until the shells turn red, about 1 minute per side. Remove the shrimp. Heat in the same pan:
1 tablespoon olive oil
Cook the remaining shrimp and remove. Let the pan cool for a few minutes. Return the shrimp to the pan and add the sauce along with:
6 ounces smoked ham, sliced thick and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
Bring to a simmer and cook just until the shrimp are done, about 2 minutes. Stir in:
3 tablespoons dry sherry
1/2 teaspoon hot red pepper sauce
Top with:
2 tablespoons chopped yellow celery leaves
Serve with:
Hot cooked rice
