Ingredients
  • 6 cups water
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 lb shrimp shells and/or heads
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
  • 1 dried bay leaf
  • 1 tablespoon parsley
  • 3 tablespoons onion; chopped

Directions
  1. Place the head and/or shells in the water; add the other ingredients. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 20 to 30 minutes.
  2. The oil should help prevent excessive foaming and boiling-over; but watch carefully. Strain stock into covered containers and refrigerate until needed. Discard heads and/or shells.
  3. Use in soups and sauces that call for shrimp stock.
