AWESOME RICH SHRIMP STOCK
This is so Rich and Fresh, Very Intense and Easy to make so forget the bottled clam juice or fish stock. This stock is made from the basics so do save and freeze your "scraps" (onion skins, garlic skins and roots, carrots, bell pepper, celery ends, scallion ends, fresh herb stems, onion roots, asparagus bottom trimmings, etc. and of course shrimp shells. Use in anything that calls for seafood stock or clam juice or to make rice, fish stews, gumbo and jambalaya's. It's a shame to discard all the goodness and it is so expensive that it would be a sin to buy. Because it cost you almost NOTHING! Just pennies! So never discard a shell, just freeze and then make rich yummy stock. You can reduce this shrimp stock for more intense flavor.

Steps:
- In a stock pot heat olive oil. Add shells and cook till they turn pink up to 10 minutes to intensify the flavor.
- Add remaining ingredients except the water.
- Cover and cook for about 10 minutes the longer you can draw this process out, the more of the natural juices of the scraps will be released. This is awesome flavoring. Add just a pinch of salt to speed the process.
- Cover with water bring just to a boil: lower heat to simmer for 20 minutes.
- Strain into a container extracting out all the goodness from the scraps.
- Cool completely and freeze or use as you like.

RICH & CREAMY CRAWFISH OR SHRIMP PASTA W/ CHEESE SAUCE
An excellent pasta recipe from New Orleans. I first made it in my home ec. class in high school and it has ever since become a family favorite. So flavorful, yet not spicy like so many New Orleans seafood dishes. This is a simple and exquisite recipe. Total time to prepare is about 30 minutes. Some ingredients can be substituted. Please see below.

Steps:
- Chop the green onions (as much as you like--I usually just use a handful).
- Open the cheese and slice it in as many pieces as possible so it can melt easily.
- Set onions and cheese aside separately.
- It is a good idea at this point to start a large pot of boiling water, and it should be boiling by the time the sauce is done.
- To make the sauce: Melt stick of butter in a large skillet on medium heat.
- Add chopped onions.
- Simmer for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, until onions look nicely cooked.
- Add the package of crawfish and let simmer for another few minutes.
- Add the cheese, and once it has started to melt, add the can of soup.
- Dash of salt if desired.
- You can turn the heat up to medium hi.
- Continue stirring until the cheese is completely melted.
- If it is too thick, milk can be added to thin it out.
- Cover and turn heat back down to low.
- Stir occasionally so the sauce does not stick.
- Now just boil the pasta according to the package instructions.
- Sauce can be served over the pasta or mixed inches.
- If there are leftovers, I usually store it all mixed together.
- It reheats better that way.

Steps:
- Peel the shrimp, reserving the shells. Carefully devein the shrimp and coarsely chop. Coarsely chop the scallops and combine with the shrimp and 1/4 cup water in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Pulse on and off to finely chop but don't create a puree. Add another tablespoon of water if the mixture becomes sticky. Cover, and set aside in the refrigerator while you make the broth.
- Start the broth, or fumet, by heating the olive oil in a large straight-sided saute pan. Add the reserved shrimp shells, onions, garlic, and hot pepper. Saute over moderate heat for about 10 minutes until the onions have softened and the shells have turned deep pink. Add the wine and reduce until you have 1/4 to 1/3 cup left in the pan. Add 4 cups water and boil vigorously to reduce until you have about 3 cups of liquid left. Strain the fumet through a fine sieve into another large saute pan. Add the tomato and bring to a boil. Taste and add salt, if necessary. Set aside over very low heat and simmer gently while you cook the pasta.
- Bring at least 5 quarts of water to a boil in a large pot. Generously salt the water and drop in the spaghettini. Cook, stirring often, until the pasta is almost al dente, about 4 minutes. Drain the pasta and transfer to the fumet. Fold in the chopped shrimp and scallops along with the butter and parsley. Simmer just until the spaghettini is al dente and the seafood is cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve immediately.
RICH SHRIMP
This recipe makes a lot so the serving size is just an estimate. It is great to serve to serve as an appetizer when you are having dinner guests. You may substitute chicken for the shrimp. You may also make your own alfredo sauce or try "Recipe#76" if you don't want to use bottled sauce. This is not a low fat dish but it good for special occasions.
