Seafood stock, aromatic and full of flavor. Even though you can fine seafood stock readily available, this is so much better. Preparing your own stock is very easy, rich in flavor, and it will cost you practically nothing. Most of the time, when cooking shrimp, the shells are tossed away and discarded. But I hope that after trying this you’ll realize that the shells are just as important as the shrimp itself. Once you make it, you can bag them in freezer safe resealable bags and store them for later use.
