Depends on the ice. I can barely fit 50lbs in a 55 quart.

This man was on the money! Weighed the pot with the heads...20lbs...put shrimp on some pans and weighed just the pot 3.4 so 16.6lbs of heads.

Time to roast...convection 400.

Edit...roasting shrimp heads is a interesting smell. Ms GT might not like that

You close to Lafayetre Gris? They are in the water now.

Thanks Otis...I love it. The convection steam oven is really cool. Still learning it tho.

I've got some fresh ones coming on Friday from a shrimper, but not that many. I'm hoping the guy bringing them is selling to some folks who want them de-headed so I collect the heads. Had some last week, but I bbq'ed them so the heads were on them.

Now, I want possession of your outdoor setup!

Ahh nice. While it's nice to have this many it's a bunch to deal with lol. Pots too full and wants to boil over. Pretty hard to skim anything. I think I'll let it boil then strain and then boil to skim.

well that you can't have.

I taste it to see if I'm done. Looks good. I don't boil, though. I just simmer...less foam.

Now, when can I come pick up some of that stock?

I simmered it but when bringing it up to boil I was t watching and well....mess lol. I'm ising my crawfish pot and basket to get the heads out and let it drip. Should have just used it to boil would have been way easier.

it may not be any good, haven't tasted it yet.

Don't boil it. Simmer to reduce.
Looks good! Well, except for the dirty pot. Wipe all that off so it doesn't get into your stock. Always rinse the pot if you're using the same one after straining.

I simmered it for a while and reduced it and skimmed it then strained it into a fresh smaller pot. Filled up a 8qt pot. I want to strain it again through some cheese cloth but I'll have to get some tomorrow. Would that be a issue straining once cold...re heat a little first? I just want to get all out that I can. Smells real good! Thanks everyone
