SEASONING MIX

FOR MAYONNAISE

Combine the seasoning mix ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.

Melt the butter in a 1-quart saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and celery; saute for about 1 minute, stirring almost constantly. Turn heat to low and add the seasoning mix and shrimp.

Continue cooking for 5 minutes, stirring frequently and scraping pan bottom as needed. Remove from heat. discard the bay leaf, and let cool for 15 minutes. In a food processor or blender, process the egg for about 30 seconds. Add the shrimp mixture and process a few seconds more. With the machine still running, gradually add the oil in a thin, steady stream, then the lemon juice and vinegar, pushing down the sides once with a rubber spatula. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes before using.
