Roasted Shrimp Stock Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Toss shrimp shells with olive oil and garlic salt and spread evenly over an aluminum foil lined baking sheet or roasting pan. If they are not in a single layer, spread over two pans. Roast in oven for 15-20 minutes or until well-browned.
• Combine all ingredients except for sea salt in a large stockpot and bring to a boil, then lower heat, cover and simmer for one and a half hours. If you prefer a richer stock, boil at a medium heat uncovered so that the water evaporates and the stock tastes as you'd like. You will end up with less stock this way. Add salt to taste in the last 10 minutes. Tip: I actually rinse my aluminum foil with all the browned bits (called fond in cooking terms) in a large bowl with my water to get all the amazing flavor this brown stuff provides and use that water in the stock. You don't have to do this, but it will make your stock all the richer!
• Strain out solids with a large colander first, discarding solids. Re-strain the stock with fine strainer to remove the finer debris, pressing the solids with a spoon and scraping the bottom of the fine strainer into the stock to get all the goodness.
• Use immediately, or place in freezer-safe containers and freeze up to 6 months. Great for shrimp bisque, any rice dish with seafood that requires stock like paella or jambalaya, gumbo, etouffee, etc. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Combine shrimp shells, onion, lemon, chopped celery, celery leaves, garlic, peppercorns, thyme, and bay leaves in a saucepan. Cover with water. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to low. Simmer until reduced by 1/2, skimming off foam as necessary, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Strain and use or freeze for later use.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Arrange shrimp in a single layer in a stoneware baking dish. Drizzle olive oil over shrimp.
• Combine garlic salt, parsley, and pepper and sprinkle over shrimp. Cut butter into small pieces and scatter over shrimp.
• Roast in the preheated oven, watching carefully, until shrimp turn pink, 5 to 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• Melt the butter over low heat in a medium (10-inch) saute pan. Add the olive oil, garlic, rosemary, red pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and cook over low heat for one minute. Off the heat, zest one of the lemons directly into the butter mixture.
• Meanwhile, arrange the shrimp snugly in one layer in a large (12-inch) round ovenproof sauté pan (or 10 × 13-inch baking dish) with only the tails overlapping. Pour the butter mixture over the shrimp. Sprinkle with the sea salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Slice the ends off the zested lemon, cut five (1/4-inch-thick) slices, and tuck them among the shrimp. Roast for 12 to 15 minutes, just until the shrimp are firm, pink, and cooked through. Cut the remaining lemon in half and squeeze the juice onto the shrimp. Serve hot with the toasted bread for dipping into the garlic butter.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Fill a large pot with water, add 1 tablespoon of salt and a splash of oil, and bring the water to a boil. Add the orzo and simmer for 9 to 11 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it's cooked al dente. Drain and pour into a large bowl. Whisk together the lemon juice, 1/2 cup olive oil, 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon of pepper. Pour over the hot pasta and stir well.
• Meanwhile, place the shrimp on a sheet pan, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss to combine and spread out in a single layer. Roast for 5 to 6 minutes, until the shrimp are cooked through. Don't overcook!
• Add the shrimp to the orzo and then add the scallions, dill, parsley, cucumber, onion, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper. Toss well. Add the feta and stir carefully. Set aside at room temperature for 1 hour to allow the flavors to blend, or refrigerate overnight. If refrigerated, taste again for seasonings and bring back to room temperature before serving.

Steps:

• Bring water to a boil in a large saucepan. Add shrimp and cook 3 minutes. Drain, reserving liquid. Put shrimp in a bowl of ice water for 5 minutes. Shell the shrimp, reserving shells. Set aside shrimp for the risotto.
• Heat oil in the saucepan over medium heat. Add the carrot, onion, celery, tomato and garlic. Cook 3 minutes. Add shrimp shells and cook 3 minutes more.
• Add the wine. Simmer 2 minutes.
• Add the shrimp cooking liquid. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 30 minutes. Strain. Chop the reserved shrimp for use in the risotto recipe.

Steps:

• Pour olive oil into a small pot over medium-high heat. Add shrimp shells, thyme sprigs, garlic, bay leaf and dried shrimp if using. Let sizzle for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring, taking care not to let mixture brown.
• Add 7 cups water, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a gentle simmer. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Simmer for 30 minutes. Strain through a fine-meshed sieve. May be prepared several hours ahead.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 500.
• Lay a bunch of rosemary branches in the bottom of a roasting pan, and put 1 1/2 pounds peeled shrimp on top. Sprinkle generously with salt and freshly ground pepper.
• Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice.
• Roast, turning the shrimp once, until they're pink all over, 10 to 15 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges.

Steps:

• In a stock pot heat olive oil. Add shells and cook till they turn pink up to 10 minutes to intensify the flavor.
• Add remaining ingredients except the water.
• Cover and cook for about 10 minutes the longer you can draw this process out, the more of the natural juices of the scraps will be released. This is awesome flavoring. Add just a pinch of salt to speed the process.
• Cover with water bring just to a boil: lower heat to simmer for 20 minutes.
• Strain into a container extracting out all the goodness from the scraps.
• Cool completely and freeze or use as you like.
