This recipe is based on Emeril's basic shrimp stock. Great stock to use for seafood stews. We eat so much shrimp that I always have tons of shrimp shells in my freezer.
Ingredients:
shrimp shells, from about 2 pounds of large shrimp
2 onions, halved
2 stalks celery, chopped
2 lemons, halved
8 bay leaves
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried tarragon
1 teaspoon dried oregano
3/4 teaspoon black peppercorns
2 teaspoons salt
4 quarts cold water
Directions:
1. Rinse shrimp shells in cold water and place in stock pot with all remaining ingredients.
2. Bring to a boil on high heat.
3. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
4. Raise heat to medium and cook for 1/2 hour.
5. Strain completely.
6. If not using immediately, cool and refrigerate.
7. Will keep for 30 days.
