Related: About this forumI bought shrimp with the heads on, made some shrimp stock,
used it to make a garlic/crushed red pepper/white wine sauce for the sauteed shrimpies. Served with steamed brown rice to soak up every bit of buttery, spicy goodness. And steamed broccoli.
Died-and-gone-to-heaven good.

(47,675 posts)1. I did that once 25 years ago - note "once". You pay twice per pound that way.
Most of it isn't cooking stuff. Sort of like crabs.

I got wonderful stock from the heads - cooked it down to nearly nothing for the sauce >>>> awesomeness.
The shrimp for the meal cost me under $2, which is quite reasonable for 1 person these days. I don't eat much animal flesh anymore but when I do I like the good stuff.
