My family 1st moved to the North Shore above New Orleans when I was only 14, whereas I instantly fell in love with the local cuisine. I love fine food & soon learned I had the knack for creating it. Whenever I come across something I like, I'll try cooking it off & on until I figure out the right recipe for it. My bill of fare includes, Cajun, Italian, Chinese /Thai, Mexican & southern comfort food, all with a Creole influence. Though my bill of fare includes a wide ethnic variety, my menu is actually fairly small; but the dishes on it, are guaranteed to be amongst the best in their class that you'll find anywhere!

Making Seafood stock

Making seafood stock is done like any other stock, by boiling the bones & trimmings/giblets from the protein/meats being used.  In this case, we have the shrimp shells ( & heads if available? ) & the juice from any canned meat if being used (which should be set aside & used as part of the required amount of stock to be used.)
Using a large pot, add at least a cup or 2 more water than is required for stock amount needed.  Add the shells/? heads & boil for about 45 min.s, strain & set aside the required amount for use.  that's it!! 

good luck & enjoy!
