Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 3-4 cups shrimp shells (from 1-2 pounds of shrimp rinsed)
- 1 cup yellow onion (peel left on and quartered)
- 1/2 cup carrots (chopped)
- 1/2 cup celery (chopped)
- 2 Tablespoons garlic (Fresh, Peeled, chopped large)
- 6 cups cold water
- 1/2 teaspoon coriander seeds
- 2 bay leaves
- 2 Tablespoons parsley (Fresh if available)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon salt to taste
Instructions
- In a large heavy bottom pot on medium heat, add the oil, shrimp shells, onion, carrots, celery and garlic.
- Cook and stir the shrimp shells until pink and vegetables start to soften, about 10 to 12 minutes.
- Add in the water, coriander seeds, bay leaves, parsley and black pepper and salt to taste. Cover the pot, leaving the lid askew and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer lightly for 20 minutes.
- Use a slotted ladle to remove the largest pieces of the vegetables and shells from the broth.
- Place a fine mesh strainer over a large bowl or pot and pour the stock through the strainer. Discard shrimp shells and vegetables.
- You can also strain this stock through cheesecloth for a cleaner broth.
- Let the shrimp stock cool before refrigerating or freezing.
Notes
- You can freeze this stock in freezer safe containers for use at a later date. It will stay good in the freezer for up to 6 months.
