OK, so we picked up some nice prawns last night for dinner (still alive!). I cooked them in white wine with ginger and lemon. I tossed the heads BACK in the pot and let it simmer while we killed a few more bottles of wine. After dinner, I strained out the liquid into a glass jar (large pickle jar) that is in the fridge. SO - what can I make with this white wine shrimp goodness? Thoughts from the culinary kings and queens of doperland? ---

Bisque. Gumbo. Anything “fishy” that calls for chicken stock. ---

I am thinking also about making shrimp etoufee as well. > **[Shrimp Etouffee Recipe - Nola Cuisine & Culture](http://www.nolacuisine.com/2006/12/28/shrimp-etouffee-recipe/)** > > by From Nola Cuisine Images – (reedited) The smell of Etouffee, be it Crawfish (my Crawfish Etouffee Recipe) or Shrimp, is one of the most heavenly aromas that I know, along with the smell of Shrimp a la Creole. The word Etouffee (Ay-2-FAY)... ---

Risotto, or a nice seafood asian fried rice dish? A base for a seafood stew/clam and shrimp chowder? ---

Do like a fennel bisque. With a white-wine shrimp base it will be awesome. ---

Fennel and leeks would be good. Use it today, fish stocks go really quickly ---
