Rich Shrimp Stock in bowlMy local seafood shop sells head-on shrimp for nearly half the price of the ones already cut. This is a plus for me because I love to use the heads, skins, and tails, along with vegetable scraps, to make my own rich shrimp stock. Not only is a homemade version more delicious, it's also so much cheaper. Shrimp stock is full of glucosamine, which is essential for healthy joint health.
