Fish Stock

Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 1/2 cups shrimp shells, from about 1 pound of shrimp
  • 2 cups chopped onions
  • 1 cup chopped carrots
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1/4 cup tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 10 sprigs of fresh thyme
  • Warm the oil in a stock pot over medium heat. Add the shrimp shells, onions, carrots, and celery and sauté for 15 minutes, until lightly browned. Add the garlic and cook for two more minutes. Add 1 1/2 quarts of water, white wine, tomato paste, salt and pepper and thyme. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for one hour. Strain through a colander or strainer. You should have approximately one quart of stock from this recipe. More water or wine can be added as needed.
