Ingredients
Instructions
  1. Heat a pot (4 – 5 quarts in size) over medium heat. Drop in the shrimp shells and toss them about for a few minutes, until they start to turn coral-pink. Pour in the water and bring to a gentle simmer. Season with salt and keep simmering for 15 minutes.
  2. Shut off the heat and let it steep until cooled. Strain it through a fine mesh sieve.
  3. Wipe the pot clean. Return the stock to the pot and simmer for an additional 10 minutes or so, until it’s down to 2 quarts.
Recipe Notes
  • This will keep for about 3 – 5 days in the fridge, or frozen for 6 months.
