Ingredients

How to make it

  • Heat oil in a large stockpot over medium-high heat.
  • Add shrimp shells and cook for about 15 minutes, until they become pink and aromatic.
  • Stir in the onion, carrot, and celery.
  • Add water, peppercorns, and bay leaf.
  • Bring almost to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, partly covered for about 20 minutes.
  • Strain into a clean pot, pressing on the shells to remove all liquid.
  • Cool quickly by placing the pot in an ice bath.
  • Makes about 6 cups

    This sounds much better than my shrimp stock recipe,which has always seemed kinda bland to me, so I'm taking yours. Thanks.
