Can I Blend Frozen Cooked Shrimp (with Skin) to Create a Soup?


I have these frozen shrimps (leftover from the holidays) and I don’t know what to do with it.

I was thinking I blend it up, and some water and stuff and it’d be like a soup.

Do you think it’d be a good idea?


Why don’t I just defrost and cook you say? because it’s already overcooked.

    you can make a seafood stock out of them, but, uh, pureeing the whole thing seems… a bad idea.

    I don’t know that you can recover already-overcooked shrimp, more than just by making the stock from it. (stock is the last step of recovering soemthing useful.) you could then use it for fish-based ramen, or other seafood stews and soups, whatevers.

    I wonder what would happen if you used fish stock for things like rice (I use veggie or chicken stock for that all the time. It deepens the flavor of the rice.) In any case; if you’re absolutely insistent on eating the over cooked shrimp, you could shell/skin them, and use that for stock then serve to the in-laws you don’t like. save the good food for people you actually want to come back.
