I just want to show you something that maybe you already know...I have known to do this for quite sometime but never take the time to do this....I really want you to NOT be like me and take this extra step..When you peel your shrimp...make a nice shrimp stock out of the shells....it is so easy and really only takes about 30 minutes...here is how you do this..
start with a nice pile of shrimp shells...the more the better....
next saute some onion and garlic in butter, add a little salt and pepper...
add all of your shells and 1 cup of water, or also you can add a little white wine...
cover and bring to a boil and simmer for 20 minutes...
cool slightly and strain.....
there you have it, the richest cup of the most heavenly stock, to use in pastas, soups and risotto's...you can put in the freezer to use at some other time....
I used mine as a base in a pasta cream sauce....heaven on a plate...
Cheers to Happy !!

I have not peeled shrimp since I lived in Virginia. But that looks heavenly.
