Best Answer

Boil them up in a pan of water and crush with a potato masher. A wonderful stock is made after straining. Add some brandy and cream then reduce by boiling in a large flat pan. Serve as a sauce with fish or add to a fish soup. There's a kind of bandage made of shrimp shells, and it helps stop bleeding.
