Steps:
- For the shrimp stock: Peel and devein the shrimp, reserving the shells. Put the shrimp in a bowl over ice, cover and refrigerate.
- Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the celery, garlic and onion and cook until softened, about 7 minutes. Stir in the shrimp shells and cook until light pink, 1 minute. Stir in the tomato paste. Add the white wine and bring to a simmer. Simmer until only a few tablespoons remain in the pan, about 3 minutes. Add the peppercorns, bay leaves, thyme, parsley and 3 cups cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce to a simmer and simmer over medium-low heat until reduced by half, about 15 minutes. Stir in 1 teaspoon salt.

SHRIMPIN DIPPIN BROTH - BUBBA GUMP SHRIMP CO.
This is one recipe I NEVER want to lose! Prepared on Eyewitness News Midday by Dave Trombetta of the Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. so it's definitely OK to post & share. This is one of the most delicious Shrimp recipes. I love it because you get plenty of broth to sop up with your bread, and it's SO flavorful. Definitely Cajun, so not for people who don't like spicy food. Enjoy & please post reviews! Cooking time may vary, based on type of rice you choose to serve, so cooking time does not include rice cooking time. Preparation time assumes you have shrimp that has been peeled and deveined for you. Cooks very quickly! I made this recently and doubled it, but I found that the flavor was diluted. If anyone makes this and is able to successfully double/triple the recipe with the same amount of flavor, pls post in your comment/review. I personally would like to have MORE broth than what this makes just like you get at the restaurant. It is spicy!

Steps:
- Melt 3 Tbsp. butter in a large Dutch oven or other heavy pot over medium. When butter starts to bubble, add shrimp and stir to coat; season with salt. Cook, tossing, until shrimp are bright pink and beginning to curl, about 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a plate.
- Combine onion, garlic, jalapeño, and corn in same pot and cook, stirring often, until onion is softened and translucent, about 4 minutes. Stir in paprika, then 1 Tbsp. plus 1 tsp. Diamond Crystal or 2¼ tsp. Morton kosher salt and pour in 6 cups water. Increase heat to high and bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer gently while you prepare the chochoyotes. It's okay if the broth reduces slightly.
- If using fresh masa, combine with remaining 1½ tsp. Diamond Crystal or 1 tsp. Morton kosher salt in a large bowl. Coarsely grate remaining 3 Tbsp. butter on the large holes of a box grater directly into bowl (or cut into small pieces and add). Using your hands, knead dough until salt and butter are well incorporated, about 4 minutes.
- If using masa harina, combine with 1¼ cups plus 1 Tbsp. water in a large bowl. Knead until water is absorbed with no loose bits of dry flour remaining and dough has a stiff cookie-dough-like consistency. Sprinkle remaining 1½ tsp. Diamond Crystal or 1 tsp. Morton kosher salt over dough. Coarsely grate remaining 3 Tbsp. butter on the large holes of a box grater directly into bowl (or cut into small pieces and add). Using your hands, knead dough until salt and butter are well incorporated, 6-8 minutes.
- Turn dough out onto a surface and portion into about 20 pieces (about 1½ Tbsp. each); roll into balls. Cover balls with plastic wrap or a barely damp kitchen towel and, working one at a time, hold a ball in a cupped hand and press in the center with your thumb or index finger of your other hand to make an indent about two thirds deep. Dumpling should look a little like a belly button. If edges start to crack, moisten hands, reroll, and try again.
- Add dumplings to broth and simmer very gently (or they might fall apart) until all of the dumplings have floated to the surface, 5-7 minutes, then continue to cook until firm and cooked through, 1-2 minutes more. (Masa harina dumplings may require an extra minute.) Stir in shrimp, lime juice, and three quarters of parsley, cilantro, and mint.
- To serve, ladle into shallow bowls and top with remaining herbs.

Steps:
- Peel the shrimp, reserving the shells. Carefully devein the shrimp and coarsely chop. Coarsely chop the scallops and combine with the shrimp and 1/4 cup water in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Pulse on and off to finely chop but don't create a puree. Add another tablespoon of water if the mixture becomes sticky. Cover, and set aside in the refrigerator while you make the broth.
- Start the broth, or fumet, by heating the olive oil in a large straight-sided saute pan. Add the reserved shrimp shells, onions, garlic, and hot pepper. Saute over moderate heat for about 10 minutes until the onions have softened and the shells have turned deep pink. Add the wine and reduce until you have 1/4 to 1/3 cup left in the pan. Add 4 cups water and boil vigorously to reduce until you have about 3 cups of liquid left. Strain the fumet through a fine sieve into another large saute pan. Add the tomato and bring to a boil. Taste and add salt, if necessary. Set aside over very low heat and simmer gently while you cook the pasta.
- Bring at least 5 quarts of water to a boil in a large pot. Generously salt the water and drop in the spaghettini. Cook, stirring often, until the pasta is almost al dente, about 4 minutes. Drain the pasta and transfer to the fumet. Fold in the chopped shrimp and scallops along with the butter and parsley. Simmer just until the spaghettini is al dente and the seafood is cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve immediately.
SHRIMP, BOK CHOY & NOODLES IN A SEASONED BROTH
This is a great quick mid week dinner. I always have shrimp on hand in the freezer and this is just a nice change from the typical fried or sauteed shrimp. I prefer to use bok choy vs napa cabbage, but either one will work. Shitaki mushrooms also are best, but button mushrooms will work just fine. I serve this with some crisp romaine, and a sesame dressing (Kraft makes an Asian Toasted Sesame Dressing, which is actually very good). I add some cucumbers, red onion and carrot to the romaine, and top with the dressing for a simple side salad. This makes a light summer dinner. Fresh shrimp is best, but frozen shrimp is fine for this dish.

Steps:
- Broth -- In a large pot, add the broth, sherry, garlic, ginger, soy, sesame oil, and jalapeno. Cover and bring to a boil. Immediately reduce to low and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove the jalapeno, garlic and ginger. Just keep covered on low heat.
- Pasta -- Since this is angel hair pasta it takes just a few minutes to cook. Cook the pasta in salted water according to pkg directions. Once it is done, drain well and set to the side.
- Shrimp and Vegetables -- As the pasta is cooking, turn the heat back up on the broth to medium heat and add the mushrooms and cook 3-4 minutes. Then add the shrimp and bok choy and cook another 3-4 minutes. Just until the bok choy is slightly wilted and the shrimp are beginning to turn pink. Add in the water chestnuts and scallions and cook another minute or two just to heat through. Season with salt and pepper if necessary (go easy on the salt). I add quite a bit of pepper to mine.
- Serve -- I think this is best served individually. I place a heaping spoon of the pasta in each bowl and then top with the seafood and bok choy broth.
- Garnish with a drizzle of the sesame oil. ENJOY a really good light dish!

Steps:
- Make the broth: Place peppers, shallots, garlic, and a pinch of salt in a medium stockpot over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring, until vegetables are translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Increase the heat to medium-high; add wine, and bring to a boil. Cook until reduced by two-thirds, about 4 minutes. Add enough water to come up to the level of the peppers. Bring to a simmer. Stir in the star anise, clove, and bay leaves; cook for 15 minutes. Remove from heat, and add thyme. Let stand until room temperature; strain through a damp cheesecloth-lined sieve. You should have about 2 cups. Refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour. When cold, season with salt.
- Make the ratatouille: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Prepare an ice-water bath; set aside. Cut an x in the bottom of each tomato, and cut out the cores with a paring knife. Drop tomatoes in boiling water, and cook until skins begin to loosen, about 30 seconds. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to ice-water bath until cool enough to handle. Peel off and discard skins. Cut tomatoes in half lengthwise, and remove seeds. Cut tomatoes into a very small dice; set aside.
- In a small skillet, heat about 2 teaspoons oil over medium-high heat. Add 1/5 of the shallot, and 1/5 of the garlic. Cook until translucent. Add the tomato; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until soft, about 1 minute. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined baking sheet to drain. Repeat with remaining shallots, garlic, and vegetables, cooking each vegetable separately.
- Combine the cooked, drained, and cooled eggplant, yellow squash, zucchini, and bell pepper in a medium bowl. Add just enough of the tomato to bind the mixture together. Stir in the herbs. Season with salt and pepper; set aside.
- In a small saucepan, bring 1 cup of the broth to a simmer. Add shrimp, and remove from heat. Let stand until room temperature. Transfer to refrigerator until chilled, about 30 minutes. Remove and drain on a paper-towel-lined plate.
- Place a spoonful of ratatouille in the bottom of two soup bowls. Top each with 2 shrimp. Garnish each bowl with a sprig of thyme. Pour 1/2 cup remaining chilled broth into each bowl. Serve immediately.

Tips for Making Perfect Shrimp Broth:
- Fresh is best: Always use fresh shrimp shells and heads for the most flavorful broth.
- Roast the shells: Roasting the shrimp shells before simmering them adds a rich, caramelized flavor to the broth.
- Use a variety of vegetables: Don't limit yourself to just onions and celery. Add other vegetables like carrots, leeks, fennel, or bell peppers for extra flavor and nutrition.
- Season well: Don't be afraid to add plenty of salt, pepper, and other seasonings to your broth. This will help to bring out the flavor of the shrimp and vegetables.
- Simmer for at least 30 minutes: The longer you simmer your broth, the more flavor it will have. Aim for at least 30 minutes, but you can simmer it for up to an hour.
- Strain the broth: Once your broth is finished simmering, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any solids. This will give you a clear, flavorful broth that's perfect for use in soups, stews, and other dishes.
Conclusion:
Shrimp broth is a versatile and flavorful ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes. Whether you're making a simple soup or a complex stew, shrimp broth will add a delicious depth of flavor. So next time you have some shrimp shells and heads on hand, don't throw them away! Use them to make a delicious shrimp broth that you can enjoy all week long.
