Whole head on shrimp chow

[Mike9]

We enjoyed a real treat tonight. One of our (somewhat) local stores had whole (head on) shrimp this week. I bought a pound and used twelve for dinner tonight. Garlic/ginger/chili paste marinade. Into a hot wok went coconut oil, scallion, red and orange bells, sesame oil, sweet soy, Saoshing wine, lime juice, pepper and pinch of salt. I cooked some rice stick in lobster base water then added noodle, cilantro and some of the cooking liquid to the wok at the end. Wow - so much more flavorful than ordinary shrimp.

So much flavor in the heads, especially if you're making soup or stock.
