Ingredients
The following ingredients have 4 Servings
- 1 large resealable bag full of prawn shells and heads (this does not need to be exact!)
- 1 medium onion (chopped)
- 2 stalks celery (chopped)
- 2 medium carrots (chopped)
- ½ teaspoon whole peppercorns
Instruction
- Combine all ingredients in a large pot. Add enough water to cover everything by 2 inches. Bring the pot almost to a boil then reduce heat so that the water is just barely simmering. Simmer, uncovered, for 30 minutes.
- Remove the pot from the heat then skim off the impurities (the white foamy stuff) from the pot with a spoon.
- Strain stock first through a large strainer, such as a colander, to remove the prawns and veggies. Next, strain the stock a second time through a fine-mesh sieve.
- Let stock cool completely then store it in jars in your fridge for up to 3 days or in resealable bags in your freezer for up to a year.
