before and after making shrimp stock for a seafood risotto tmrw! 

took about 2 hours from start to finish, mostly cuz I was slow peeling the shrimpies and taking out their yucky guts

I followed this recipe w a few modifications:
- no brandy, no celery, no tomato Mainly cuz I couldn’t find it at my local Spanish supermarket. And my big tomato I wanted to save for toast. 
- I added rosemary and bay because I saw other recipes do it 
- before straining it, I skimmed the foam off the top, twice. I read that these are the impurities and they have some bitterness 
- some recipes say that you should just boil for 5 min, some say for 10, or 40. There was this random food scientist video that says 5-10min yields the best results. I tasted it at each minute marker but I honestly felt it tasted best at 40 min. I let it run because I didn’t want a super strong tasting stock. In the end it tasted almost identical to me. 

If I had the opportunity and tools to, I would’ve used clam juice and pulverized it with an immersion blender!
