Guest guest Posted January 23, 2002 Report Share Posted January 23, 2002 I am making the shrimp stock from N.T. for the first time today. I am using the shells that I peeled off of prawns before bbqing yesterday. After grinding up the shells, I sautéed in olive oil, as per the recipe. The shells put off a very, very strong ammonia smell while sauteing. It was so bad that I almost threw the whole thing down the drain, but I decided that I had already dirtied the food processor, and the pan so I proceeded. The smell eased up a bit (or I got used to it). By the way, when I ground the shells up, they smelled a little strong, ( they were a day old) but they did not smell spoiled. I was wondering if anybody else has experienced this horrible ammonia smell, and if the broth will be safe to eat. Thanks, Rhonda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
