Create a flavorful shrimp stock with shells, garlic, lemon, and veggies for rich, seafood-inspired dishes like gumbo or étouffée.
Ingredients:
  • shrimp shells from 2 pounds of shrimp, or to taste
  • 0.5 cup roughly chopped onion
  • 0.25 cup roughly chopped celery
  • 0.25 cup celery leaves, or to taste
  • 1 medium lemon, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
  • 3 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 2 large bay leaves
  • 8 cups cold water
Instructions:
  • In a saucepan, create a rich broth by simmering shrimp shells, onion, celery, celery leaves, lemon, garlic, peppercorns, thyme sprigs, and bay leaves in water. Boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat and simmer until the liquid reduces by half, approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour, removing any foam that surfaces.
  • After straining, discard the solids. Either use immediately or allow it to cool to room temperature before refrigerating or freezing for future use.
