Really depends on how you will use it. Quite often I make one with straight shrimp shells so I can season it as I wish in the dish I make.

A french-algerian chef taught me to saute the shells in mirapouix [sic?] with olive oil and simmer and cook down, then dump it in with your ingridients of choice and you have yourself a mighty fine stock.

Portions depend on the amount of shells and what not.

Add water to taste.

I roasted with mirapoix tonight, but I think I'll sauté next time. I also added some tomato paste since first post (I'm aware that may cause a controversy).

I make it plain for gumbo. I don't care for some of those flavors in gumbo.

I roast shrimp shells/heads & gumbo crabs when making stock

Think the depth of flavor this brings is worthwhile
