    * 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.
