In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add shrimp and poach for 3-4 minutes. Remove shrimp and set aside.
In a large saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter & add the celery, onions, garlic & spices (tarragon, bay leaf, thyme, cayenne, white pepper & paprika). Gently sauté the vegetables and spices until tender. Add white wine to deglaze. Then add heavy cream, sherry and shrimp base, and let simmer for 25 minutes. Strain the mixture, place back into pot and add the sweet potatoes.
To Make the Roux
Add flour and butter to sauté pan and cook for 5 minutes. Add roux to the bisque and whisk well to remove any lumps. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
Add the poached shrimp just before serving.
