Two different things I generally do with it...
Use it as a base for a seafood soup (add clams and other stuff as
desired) but mostly I use it to make rice in place of water.

2 cups shrimp stock to 1 cup rice. Cook the rice then mix a pre-cooked
mix of:

Onion
Shrimp
Ginger root
Garlic
Scrambled egg
Salt free canned or fresh frozen peas
Grated/shredded carrot
Sesame Oil
Thinly sliced Bok Choy
Chopped celery
White pepper to taste

I would never add oyster or soy sauce to this.
Does not need it with the shrimp flavor.
