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.
