Method

Clean the shrimp and set aside the shells.
Chop the onion, carrot, leek, and celeriac into dice, and sauté in rapeseed oil for 2-3 minutes.
Add tomato paste and sauté for about 1 minute without letting it brown.
Add the shrimp shells, white wine, and brandy (optional), and sauté well for a few more minutes.
Pour in cold water until covered, add bay leaves, and simmer gently for about 20 minutes.
Strain the stock and discard the shells. Pour the stock into another saucepan, bring to a boil, and add heavy cream.
Cook until the soup slightly thickens.
Season with salt, cayenne pepper, and lemon juice.
Add the shrimp just before serving.

Spring Onion Oil

Cut the spring onions into pieces and blend them with the olive oil in a food processor or with an immersion blender.
Strain the oil and season with a little salt.
