shrimp stock

Shellfish cooking liquid

Shrimp stock is a flavorful liquid made by simmering shrimp shells and heads with aromatics like onion, celery, and herbs.

It serves as a base for seafood soups, bisques, risottos, and sauces: The gumbo gets its depth from homemade shrimp stock.

Unlike fish stock, it has a distinctly sweet, briny character from the shellfish.
