Shrimp heads and shells are too tasty to throw away. I will use them to make prawn soup stock.




Tadaaa... Strain the heads and shells to obtain the shrimp soup stock. This is a very simple yet economical way to obtain natural flavour for home cooking. I normally use the soup stock to cook Ipoh kai si hor fun soup (怡保鸡丝河粉), to season vegetable stir fry and many other dishes.
