What to do with shrimp stock

[John E.]

I find myself with lots and lots of frozen shrimp stock. I usually buy raw, shell-on frozen shrimp and make stir-fry or scampi. I always make stock on the shells. I make Ina Garten's shrimp bisque with some of the stock, but that calls for shrimp too so there I am again making and freezing more shrimp stock. It's a conundrum. Does anyone have any good seafood soup, stew, bisque, etc. recipes that use shrimp stock?

Cook grits in it for shrimp and grits

just a few observations--

when i make bisque i use about twice as many shrimp shells for the stock as shrimp for the finished bisque. it isn't a break-even operation for me.

i freeze the raw shells, not the prepared stock.

it is nice to poach shrimp you'll later chill in stock.

stock is a nice "loosener" for a pan sauce for shrimp and pasta--better than pasta water.

Thanks to COTM earlier this year, I discovered a great rice dish made with Shrimp Stock. It is Paul Prudhomme's Seafood Dirty Rice http://tinyurl.com/2b5fga5

You can make either chicken, shrimp or seafood. Some recipes call for chicken broth, but I use shrimp stock.

Gumbo. Just google it and find a recipe you think is interesting. It doesn't have to have shrimp stock as an ingredient. Just sub that for whatever liquid they want.

Etoufee is another option, if you're feeling Creole.

Use it as the cooking liquid for rice pilaf. Simmer squid or scallops in it as part of a pasta sauce.

Add diced canned tomatoes, onion, celery, carrot, potato, seasonings, and fresh or canned clams. Voila! Manhattan clam chowder.

I was going to suggest something similar to this or gumbo, but both were also mentioned. hehe.

[greygarious]

I prompted myself to make chowder. I used small white beans rather than potatoes, since I make a point of eating beans daily, and they look nice in this soup. No home-made stock, but clam base plus 2 cans of minced clams works.
