After that, the shrimp should be rinsed with cold water and dried with a towel. Only in this state are they ready for use.

Shrimp shells can not be thrown away, but made into a broth. The shells are placed in a saucepan and filled with water. Then they need to be brought to a boil, reduced and cooked for another 30 minutes. After cooking, you need to leave the shells until the broth cools completely and then strain well.
