Ingredients:
- 1 celery rib
- 1 1/2-2 lbs rinsed shrimp shells (and/or heads ) or 1 1/2-2 lbs crawfish shells (and/or heads) or 1 1/2-2 lbs crab shells or 1 1/2-2 lbs rinsed fish bones (heads and gills removed) or 1 1/2-2 lbs oyster liquor (or any combination of these)
Directions:
- Place all ingredients in a stock pot or a large saucepan.
- Pour over enough COLD water to cover the stock ingredients; bring to a boil over high heat, then gently simmer at least 4 hours, preferably 8 hours, replenishing the water as needed to keep about 1 quart of liquid in the pan.
- The pot may be covered or set a lid askew on it.
- Strain, cool and refrigerate until needed.
- If you are short on time, using a stock simmered for just 20-30 minutes is still better than using just water in any recipe calling for seafood stock.
- If you want a richer stock, start with at least 2 cups of the strained basic stock and continue to simmer it until the liquid is reduced by half (for one cup of rich stock).
