STOCK-Quick Shrimp Stock

Then deglaze the pan with a bit of white wine, throw in half an onion, a sprig of parsley, a few celery leaves, a c...
- Some Easy Variations:Use flavored oils such as garlic, basil, or sundried tomato oil to saute the shells
- Use aromatics like fresh rosemary, celery leaves, allspice berries, or citrus rinds in the cooking water.
- Substitute 1/4 - 1/2 cup of white wine or light chicken stock for an equal amount of the cooking water.
- Don't discard the shells even if you don't have the time or the need to make stock right away. Put them in a heavy-duty freezer bag or container and freeze them for later use. If tightly closed, they'll keep for about 3 months until you're ready for them.
- After you've made the stock, add the mineral-rich shells to your compost pile or work them directly into the soil for the ultimate in recycling efficiency!
