Note: Shellfish stock can be easily made by simmering raw shrimp shells (which hopefully you've saved in the freezer after you've peeled raw shrimp) with chicken stock and a splash or white wine for 5 to10 minutes.
9
Alternately you can add a bit of shrimp paste (available in jars in Asian markets) or dried shrimp (available in Hispanic or Asian markets) to flavor the basic chicken stock.

Don't ever use bottled clam juice!
