Shrimp broth is a flavorful liquid made by simmering shrimp shells, heads, or tails with aromatics such as onions, garlic, herbs, and sometimes vegetables. A staple in many coastal cuisines, particularly Southeast Asian, Latin American, and Mediterranean, it serves as the base for soups, stews, or sauces. Rich in protein and minerals like calcium and magnesium, shrimp broth can offer health benefits such as supporting bone health. Its low calorie content makes it a light, nutrient-rich option, though it may contain higher levels of sodium depending on preparation, so moderation is key. The umami-rich flavor enhances dishes without the need for heavy fats or sugars, making it a versatile choice for those aiming to balance taste with nutrition.
