re: Where to get shrimp shells for stock?

I usually use the shells from 3lbs of shrimp to make about 6 cups of stock. Works fine for me. As said, rouses has head on shrimp all the time. Make friends with the seafood guys and they will save you some, although they don't peel much.

At my local rouses, I just call him on Monday morning and Friday afternoon I stop by and he has shrimp shells, crab shells and some fish bones for me.
