The question would be, puree blend the shelvs and heads or not. I have seen a recipe to calls for blending the shelvees and head and i just cant imagine how that would taste. Most other recipe just ask to puree the shrimp.
What would be your take?

Just the meat unless there is something I am missing that I shouldn't want to miss.

Boil the heads and shells, then strain to make the stock base for the bisque.

You beat me to it.  I boil the whole shrimp maybe 3 minutes, then cool them in iced salted water.  Peel them, throw the shells and heads back in the boiling water to extract more flavor and use that water as a stock.
