Directions
Awesome Rich Shrimp Stock, This is so Rich and Fresh, Very Intense and Easy to make so forget the bottled clam juice or fish stock. This stock is made from the basics so do save and freeze your “scraps” onion skins, garlic skins and roots, carrots, bell pepper, celery ends, scallion ends, fresh herb stems, onion roots, asparagus bottom trimmings, etc. and of course shrimp shells. Use in anything that calls for seafood stock or clam juice or to make rice, fish stews, gumbo and jambalaya’s. It’s a shame to discard all the goodness and it is so expensive that it would be a sin to buy. Because it cost you almost NOTHING! Just pennies! So never discard a shell, just freeze and then make rich yummy stock. You can reduce this shrimp stock for more intense flavor., After sauting use some water or wine to deglaze the pan and add that to your stock as well. ??, This is the only way to go! You know exactly what’s in the stock instead of using mystery products. Whenever I make a shrimp dish, I save the shells and add them to a zip-lock plastic bag and freeze. Because I am cooking for two, I keep adding to the bag until I’ve accumulated enough to make stock. I do the same with the scraps and trimmings from vegetables. Don’t save blemished parts. By the way, onion skins add a rich golden brown color to stocks. Hungry for some seafood chowder?
