Ingredients

2 Tbsp vegetable oil

uncooked shrimp shells from 2 lb of shrimp

2 small onions, chopped

2 small carrots, peeled and chopped

2 stalks celery, chopped

6 c cold water

1 bay leaf

2 tsp black peppercorns

Directions

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
