re: Shrimp stew...ever put something else with the shrimp?

For above this is what I did....but id alter it next time except for the stock.

The stock I just oven roasted and boiled about 16lbs of heads. I got 45lbs de headed and froze the shrimp...used the heads for stock. Didn't add any seasoning...just boiled...reduced some...and ran through cheese cloth several times. Makes it taste and smell like shrimp stew before even adding shrimp.

Used a large container of guidrys and browned in a little oil. Added 1 pack of Richards tasso diced up and browned. De-glazed with a little stock then added the rest 8 cups of stock 4 of water. 1 jar of kerys lite roux. It needed more liquid to start it was a pita to get the kerys to dissolve all the way. Once it was decent I added about 1lb of baby potatoes and cooked for about 15-20min. Added 2 cups of frozen corn and simmer for a few min. Added some boiled eggs and simmered for a few min. Added about 2 lbs peeled shrimp (not nearly enough) and simmered for a cpl min till done. Only added some NuNus seasoning as I went till it got to where I wanted.
