I always save the "trash" when I clean shrimp, crabs, or crawfish because it is absolutely awesome to use when I make Gumbo. I freeze the heads, shells, basically all of the "trash" from these shellfish because they can be boiled to make a seafood broth that helps make gumbo graduate to a whole nuther' level of goodness. Simply freeze the "trash" in a zippered freezer bag until needed, boil down the shells until done, (sidebar, I forgot to mention that I only keep the fresh "trash", not already cooked "trash"), then pour through a strainer into your gumbo recipe. ~beer~
That`s no tip LOL. lo Any cajun knows this. I`ve been doing this for years. That`s a waste of food. My grandpa even boiled the squirell head. Sayed it made the soup or gumbo taste better. ~shhh
It's not a tip to me because I am from the country but there are fishermen that ain't, so I guess technically it might be a tip; it will count to get me in the drawing anyway lol. Speaking of the squirrell heads, my grandmama fried the heads of the young ones because my uncle would eat the brains. I waste that "food". ~beer~
