- How to make a great stock using shrimp heads and shells for your seafood recipes.
I typically use shrimp heads and shells for this.
INGREDIENTS
Shrimp heads and shells from 3 pounds of shrimp
2 Tsp. Zatarain's concentrated Shrimp and Crab Boil
2 Quarts water
Put about 2 quarts of water in a stock pot, along with the heads and shells from 3 pounds of shrimp. Add 2 teaspoons of Zatarain's concentrated Shrimp and Crab Boil. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer for 1 hour or longer if you have time.
Strain out the stock and reserve the stock.
Discard shrimp parts.
Chef's Notes:
Using more shrimp heads? Use more water and a bit more shrimp and crab boil.
Boil longer if you have time to reduce the stock and get a more intense flavor.
If you have a small amount of shells, boil them in less water but use an immersion blender to grind everything up into tiny bits. Strain well before using.
Use this stock for many recipes such as
Crawfish Étouffée', Shrimp Creole, Seafood Gumbo and much more.
I love these videos that are about the FOOD not THE HOST. I liked this video so much I am going to watch more of yours.
We watch these for the recipe and the prep, not the obnoxious, overbearing hosts like J Weissman and Sam the Cooking Guy. Keep 'em coming.
Awesome! Thank you!
@@TheSandersKitchen OK, your Gumbo recipe seems completely insane to me (ADD THE SHRIMP TO THE ROUX!?!?!?!?) but i am intrigued.
I might actually give this one a try.
I love adding Okra, but the sliminess always %#%$'s up my Gumbo.
Thanks, Mike! This looks easy enough. The shrimp flavor will amp up any seafood dish perfectly. Can’t wait to use this recipe.
I get a kick out of your big measuring cup ...love it.
It’s huge!! 👨🏻🍳
I had trouble finding seafood liquid stock at my local supermarkets and I was about to resort to Knorr seafood boullion cubes for shrimp risotto but now I have found a new purpose for my shrimp shells instead of throwing them directly into the trash. Can't wait to try this.
You’ll love the flavors Glenn.
Perfect,I am originally from New Orleans and I make my Shrimp Stock exactly like that.No vegetables needed,I add Liquid Crab Boil only like you do
It’s so good!! 👍
I like how simple you kept this.
Thank you. By the way, I bought a much better immersion blender for things like this. The Vitamix is $50 off today for Black Friday.
Thanks, making mine now using your instructions. Didn't have the liquid crab boil but I put a very small pinch of old bay seasoning for additional flavor.
You got it!
Yes, this is how it's supposed to be. Thank you very much.
You're welcome!
Looks good. Great for a gumbo.
Thanks brother.👍
Thank you
You're welcome!
Here enjoying!
Thank you. We watch your channel too.
We appreciate it.
How bout a base for a cocktail ?
I'm also a fan of no salt and no aromatics in a lot of my stocks, that way I have a "blank slate" to work with. I have always sauteed my heads and shells though, is there a reason you don't do this? I'm not saying either is right, just curious. I love to learn from others, this is how I grow even at 61 years of age! 🙂🙂
Are you asking why I don’t roast the shells before boiling such as in a bone stock?
We grew up in the New Orleans area where fresh shrimp was easy to buy. In fact I worked with guys who shrimped in their off time. Everyone I know made shrimp stock by boiling right after peeling. But I learned from other chefs that grinding made a more intense flavor. After doing this the first time I was convinced. I hope I answered your question. By the way, Leah Chase the owner of Dooky Chase restaurant always grinds her shells. No roasting.
I wonder if the heads have something like the dark vein that it is removed from the body before eating? I don’t see any videos explain that.
I’m not sure how to answer.
The head has no vein. Just the tail.
However we do remove the legs and meat from within the head. Batter and fry. We call them spiders.
I watched other videos and they add all of that extra stuff in it but I don't get why.
Everyone is different. I like my stocks to be basic. Veggie, beef, pork, chicken, shrimp. I add other spices when cooking. Especially salt
Can I ask why no veggies? I can poultry and beef broth and I add onion, celery, and carrot scraps.
I’ve never made seafood stock and I’m looking for a good recipe… do you de-vein the shrimp?
Also, can you use pre-cooked cocktail shrimp tails?
Shrimp stock doesn’t need any other seasonings. Save your veggie scraps for other stocks. We only use fresh shrimp hulls and shrimp heads for the stock.
As far as deveining shrimp, we always devein shrimp before cooking them on any fashion.
The main two flavors I use in my shrimp stock are bay leaves and liquid crab boil.
Stocks should not have salt as this will affect your final recipe.
I hope I covered your questions. If not, feel free to ask. 😊
@@TheSandersKitchen thank you so much… when I can it, it’ll have to have a tsp of salt, but that’s for shelf preservation!!! I’m excited about making this!!!
@@mauramillay5039 If you want to store it, you’ll need to freeze it. It’ll be super nasty if not frozen.
@@TheSandersKitchen why can’t I pressure can it like I do my other broths?
Where can I get that tool for removing the shrimp??
Amazon sells them. Shrimp Deveiner.

Where is your amazing accent from? Delaware? Maryland?
New Orleans
Do you need to wash the shells and heads before boiling?
ALWAYS!
I rinse the shrimp with cold water when I get home from the seafood market.
Can I get the shrimp oil for this video
.
Do the shrimp heads/shells need to be rinsed after being cut off?
No rinse. I toss them in a stock pot as they are.
