Instructions
In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil.
Add the shrimp shells and cook over moderate heat until they turn pink, 3 minutes.
Add the onion, fennel, celery, smashed garlic and saffron and cook until softened, 5 minutes.
Add the Pernod and brandy and cook until evaporated. Stir in the tomato paste, add 6 cups of water and bring to a boil. Simmer until the broth is reduced to 4 cups, 45 minutes.
Add the tarragon and parsley sprigs and let stand off the heat for 15 minutes.
Strain the liquid, pressing the vegetables to mash them through the sieve. Alternatively, pass the mixture through a food mill. Discard the shrimp shells.
Transfer the liquid to a saucepan and simmer until reduced to 2 cups, 30 minutes. Swirl in the butter and season with salt and pepper.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil until shimmering. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper, then saut over high heat, turning once, until nearly cooked, 2 minutes.
Transfer the shrimp to a plate.
Add the remaining 3 tablespoons of oil to the skillet.
Add the minced garlic and cook over low heat until softened and golden, 1 minute. Stir in the paprika. Return the shrimp to the skillet and add the chopped herbs and the lemon juice. Cook for 1 minute longer, until the shrimp are white throughout.
Ladle the sauce into bowls and top with the shrimp.
Drizzle any garlic oil over the shrimp and serve right away.
Recommended wine: Pinot Grigio, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc
Pinot Grigio, Riesling, and Sauvignon Blanc are my top picks for Shrimp. These crisp white wines work well with shrimp prepared in a variety of ways, whether grilled, fried, or in garlic sauce. One wine you could try is Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio. It has 4.5 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 26 dollars.

Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio
A pale straw yellow. Clean, crisp fragrance with intense yet elegant hints of quince. Fresh, harmonious fruit set off by slight sweetness with a long finish full of delicate, tangy flavor.
