Peel and devein the shrimp. Place heads [if you have them], and peels in a  
small saucepan and add the water. Bring to a slow boil over medium-high heat  
and let boil slowly for 15-20 minutes. Strain and discard the heads and  
peels. Place the oil in a Dutch oven or other large, heavy pot and place  
over medium-high heat. Add the onions, peppers, and celery and saute  
stirring often, until the vegetables are very soft, about 45 minutes. Stir  
in the tomatoes, salt, peppers, herbs, sugar, and shrimp stock and return to  
simmer. Reduce heat to medium and let simmer for 2 hours, stirring  
occasionally, This is your creole sauce; it can be prepared 1 or 2 days in  
advance and stored in the refrigerator [I find the sauce is even better  
after sitting a couple of days in the refrigerator]. When you are ready to  
serve, return the sauce to a simmer and add the shrimp. Cook until they turn
