This thread reminds me of the time I made hash brown casserole balls. We had a leftover HBC and used a portion scoop to make balls, breaded them with panko, and deep fried until golden brown. Served them with a spicy version of comeback sauce.
It's a permanent fixture on our breakfast buffet now.

Sautéing is better.
*Cleaner / Simpler
- One pot, one process
- No separate roasting pan
- No deglazing or scraping fond
*More efficient
- Stove-only
- Fewer steps, less equipment
- No flavor left stuck on a sheet pan
* Better control
- Adjust heat instantly
- Prevents bitterness (shrimp shells overcook fast)
- Pull at peak aroma/color
*Stronger flavor extraction
-All fond + fat stays in the pot
- Immediate transition to liquid = better extraction
- Preserves sweet, briny notes
Sautéed shrimp shells > roasting for stock
- Cleaner, faster, more precise
- Less risk, more consistent stock quality
Eta: no "wtf is that smell look from the wife" is an additional advantage of sauté vs roast. :lol:

It's a little outside of the price range you mentioned but it's better than all of the grocery store still that's been suggested so far.
Except Belle Glos, that's a good wine.
