Homemade shrimp meal

After boiling 2 lbs of fresh shrimp, I decided to oven-dry the shells and legs. Then, I ground them. Result was 2 oz. of fertilizer (not much but enough to feed one tomato plant). Down to Earth Shrimp meal of which NPK ratios are 6-6-0. Shrimp meal is really strong in terms of P. Anybody used shrimp meal before?
Besides compost, what other homemade meals do you guys use for immediate fertilizing?
