i keep shrimp shells in one of those round olive bar containers in my freezer.
they aren't cooked yet, so they're perfect for making stock along with some crab shells and fish bones some times... i love the stock shrimp shells makes.

For fuck sake, just peeled a 100 of these motherfuckers today while throwing away the shells. For what you guys use it? Chewing this shit is like chewing your own nails, so it's problably for making some stock, huh? Btw, what's the biggest shrimp out there? I'm trying to make niguiris with shrimp, but there isn't a good size for making them properly.

You boil them in a seafood stock, its quite good for sauces.

I always make a stock with the shells it only takes @ 30 minutes of simmering. I use it as a miso dashi or ths base for that god of thai soups, tom yom goong.

There's no reason to save bones, shells, and veg scraps if you never use stock often
I mean, save your veg scraps because veg stock is easy to incorporate into everything, but there's no shame in buying stock

>>10264526
It was never poor people food
It used to be plentiful because it was never over-fished, early settlers didn't know how to capture them easily
Then people started eating them more and more
The whole "they served it to prisoners" meme comes from the fact that they served mashed lobster, meaning they didn't bother to take the meat out of the shell

This. And, I don't consider shrimp expensive.

I make my fresh seafood however I want, whether I'm out on the grill, blackening, baking or whatever mood, but I'm not much into stocks and reduction sauces with my seafood, or seafood soups. If I were making a paella or etouffe, I'd be using chicken stock, not seafood stock. For soups, I'd be likely to be adding seafood to a pork kind of base, not seafood stock, yet again. Downplaying the fishiness, really.

Also, shellfish allergy can be triggered by overuse, in my opinion. I avoid glucosamine too. I would hate to develop an allergy. Throw them out, I say.

>>10265041
To further that, already cooked fish shells or bones are not for soup. Yea, unpalated people do that, but fish stock is made from fresh uncooked fish parts, and not for very long at all.
It should never be overly fishy and shrimp shells is a good way to ensure it comes out poorly. Use halibut bones instead.

if you prefer to use chicken stock for paella its fine but its a legit way of cooking it and unless you overdo it, it wont get overly fishy. countering fags like op with pretentiousness is a kinda stupid thing to do since regular fishers have been eating shrimps since times where any well off person wouldnt even consider eating them while making fresh fish stock would've been a waste. just because a recipe was caused by low wealth, it doesn't mean it has no merit.

langoustine or some variety of prawns is probably about as big as you'll get without getting the ultra hard shelled species of crustaceans. i only ever use gulf shrimp due to my geographic location, so you'd probably be better waiting for another response.

also, i know the "colossal" are big enough for just about anything you need big ass shrimp for. don't know the lb count of those, though.
