4. In small sauce pan on low heat melt your butter. Whisk in your flour one spoon at a time. Cook butter flour mixture about 2 minutes to cook flour taste away. Constantly stirring. Slowly whisk in milk, parmesan cheese, cajun seasoning, Old Bay, salt and sugar.Turn heat up to medium. You should still stir sauce frequently. Let sauce simmer to a boil. Boil about 2 minutes to promote thickening. Turn off heat.
5. Turn on pan with bacon drippings on medium heat. Add your raw marinated cajun shrimp. Cook shrimp about 2-3 minutes per side. Don't over cook shrimp.
