Yield: 2 Quart

 

 

Reserved Shells From 3# Heads And 1 Large Onion, Halved
-All, Reserved Shells From Shrimp 6 Peppercorns, Whole Black
2.5 Qts Water 1 Bay Leaf

I recommend you make the stock from scratch, start it first while you prepare the rest of the feast. Roux is key and it takes a while so take your time and enjoy the smell. After all cooking is all about entertaining.

Combine all the ingredients in a Dutch oven and bring to boil over high heat. Reduce heat and simmer 2 hours.

Pour mixture through wire mesh strainer into a container, discard solids. Yields 1.5 quarts.

Substitute...Not recommended, but if your in a hurry. If you use, cut back on the salt in the recipe.
2 tbsp fish flavored bouillon granules
1.5 qts water
