[letscook]

Saw this receipe on the food channel although i would make it for myself this way, but what suggestion does anyone have to subtitute they are on - no alchol -, even tho alchol cooks out, they get nervous ( 82yr sold) I was thinking clam juice but didn't know if it would make it to fishy. Thanks

I think you can leave the wine out. Replace it with chicken stock or better yet, boil the shrimp shells in a couple cups of lightly salted water for a few minutes, strain and use the broth in place of the wine. Good luck!

I agree. We aren't wine drinkers, so I usually substitute broth for wine in recipes.

Letscook - I like you, always thought that alcohol cooks out. But the truth is is only partially cooks out.

Here's an interesting read on it: Does alcohol burn off in cooking?

The more I learn, the more I find myself lacking in knowledge.

you can use chicken stock or a mix of chicken and clam, or just simmer the shrimp shells in the chicken broth for a while to give it a little seafood flavor. Some orange zest or peel gives a nice citrus note and will compensate for the absence of wine.
