Shrimp Stock 2 Methods Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Rinse the shrimp shells under cold running water and place them in a 1-gallon stockpot with the remaining ingredients. Bring the pot to a boil and then lower the temperature to a simmer. Skim the impurities that rise to the surface with a ladle, spoon or a skimmer. Simmer the stock for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
• When the stock is completed, strain the stockpot and immediately cool the stock using an ice bath of water and ice. Use the amount of stock you need, and refrigerate or freeze the rest.

Steps:

• Place shrimp shells and heads in a large colander and rinse under cold running water.
• Place all ingredients in a heavy 6-quart stockpot. Add 4 quarts water, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, skimming surface occasionally. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, for 45 minutes, continuing to skim surface occasionally.
• Remove stock from heat and strain through a fine-mesh sieve set over a large bowl; let cool completely. Refrigerate stock up to 3 days or freeze in an airtight container, up to 2 months.

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:

• Rinse the shrimp heads and shells under cold water, and place them in a stockpot with the remaining ingredients.
• Bring to a boil over high heat.
• Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 45-60 minutes. Allow to cool thoroughly, strain and refrigerate or freeze.
• Alternative method:
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil on stock pot. Add veggies and shells and caramelize about 5 minutes add remaining ingredients.
• Bring to a boil reduce heat to low.
• Simmer for 45-60 minutes.

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:

• Place shrimp shells and whole garlic clove in a small saucepan and add 1 1/4 cups water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, 5 minutes. Strain stock, discarding solids, and set aside. Let cool and refrigerate up to 2 days or freeze up to 3 months.

Steps:

• Wash the fish bones under cold running water, removing the gills from the heads.
• In a medium stockpot, combine celery, onion, herbs, and salt. Add 1 cup of the water, cover, and sweat the mixture over low heat for 10 minutes. Be sure not to let it brown.
• Add the fish bones, and the remaining 7 cups water. Bring to a boil over high heat. As soon as it comes to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for 20 minutes. Skim off any foam that rises to the surface.
• Add wine, and simmer for 10 minutes more. Remove from heat, let stand for 5 minutes, and carefully ladle the stock through a fine sieve set over a large bowl. Be sure not to press down on the solids in the sieve. Discard solids.
• Transfer 1 cup of the stock to a small saucepan. Reserve remaining stock for another use. Add shrimp, and bring almost to a boil over medium-high heat. Remove from heat, cover, and let stand for 5 minutes.
• Remove shrimp; set aside until cool enough to handle. Peel, devein, and chill shrimp. Reserve shrimp for seafood shooters. Chop shrimp shells; add to stock. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat, and simmer for 10 minutes. Strain, discarding shrimp shells.

Steps:

• Put the shells in a medium saucepan and add about 1 quart water or enough to cover. Bring it to a boil, then take the pan off the heat and let the shells steep until the water cools. (Or, if you're in a hurry, use it right away.)
