For extra flavor you might want to include some fish, or prehaps clam juice.
Ingredients
- I would do it like a fish stock:
- 1-2 lbs. fish, (in your case shrimp shells)
- 2 qts. cold water
- 1 med onion, thinly sliced
- 12 white peppercorns, slightly crushed
- 1 tsp salt
- 1-2 bay leaves
- 1 large thyme sprig
- 10 fresh parsley sprigs
- 1 med. carrot, thinly sliced
- 2 whole cloves
Directions
Bring all ingredients to a boil, lower heat and simmer, covered about 1 hour. Strain through a fine sieve, cool quickly and refrigerate. This would make about 1 3/4 quarts of stock.
