Instructions

1
Toast shrimp shells in 1 tablespoon butter over medium-high heat until pink and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add broth and simmer 10 minutes. Strain and reserve the shell broth.

Melt remaining butter in the same pot over medium heat. Cook onion, celery, and carrot for 7 minutes. Add garlic and tomato paste, cook 3 minutes until paste darkens. Add brandy and carefully flambé or cook off 2 minutes. Add sherry and cook 2 more minutes.

Add the strained shell broth, paprika, cayenne, and tarragon. Simmer 15 minutes. Add whole shrimp and cook just 3 minutes until pink. Remove tarragon. Blend completely smooth with an immersion blender. Stir in cream. Simmer 5 minutes. Season with salt and white pepper. Serve in warmed bowls.
