INSTRUCTIONS
* Reserve shells Saute shrimp shells in butter until color changes; add
onion, cooking until tender; add garlic and saute until aroma, adding more
butter if needed; add the paprika, cooking to dissolve and develop color
and flavor, 10 to 15 minutes; add tomato paste and mix well; deglaze pan
with the brandy; add fish stock and simmer; thicken by adding small amounts
of roux, each time mixing thoroughly; strain, pressing shells to extract
all liquid; saute shrimp in butter and add to soup; add heavy cream,
sherry, sauces and seasoning, stirring to mix well. Note: Roux is made
with equal parts of butter and flour (never less than a 40% to 60% ratio)
cooked 5 to 8 minutes to lightly brown. From Chuck Ozburn.
