Cook the onion in half the oil and butter until soft and translucent.

Add the garlic and cook 1 minute.
Stir in chopped tomatoes, cover pan and simmer until tomatoes have become almost a paste.
Stir a few times while cooking. Add shrimp to the sauce along with salt and pepper.
Cook just until shrimp become opaque.
Make a roux with the rest of the olive oil and butter: Heat oil, add butter until foamy and stir in flour.
Add shrimp and sauce and stir until thickened.
Chill at least 4 hours.
Roll out dough very thin into a rectangle place shrimp mixture in the middle, dampen edges with a little water fold dough around filling to shape it like a loaf.

Pre heat oven to 400℉ (200℃).
Place in a baking sheet, seam side down.
Make 2 small holes on top for steam to escape.
