*If making the stock on the same day as the Jumbo-Gumbo you may add the liquid from the can of clams.

Spread the shrimp shells out on a cookie sheet and bake at 375º until dried and starting to brown on the edges.
In an 8 quart pot combine the water, carrots, celery, bay leaves, garlic, parsley, cloves, pepper, basil, thyme, and the dried shrimp shells. Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat and simmer for 5-7 hours. Replace water as needed, 2 or 3 times, by pour more water down the sides of the pot.
Stock may be frozen for later use.
