Add the stems to the shrimp broth. Simmer the shrimp broth, covered over medium heat for about 15 minutes. Pour the broth through a fine sieve and return to the pot. Return to a boil, add 2 tablespoons olive oil and blend with a hand blender. Dice the shrimp and add to a little hot broth. Keep the remaining broth warm. Press the cooked potatoes through a ricer into a pot, pour in the hot vegetable broth and add 2 tablespoons olive oil. Mix with a hand blender until mixture is creamy. If necessary, add a little broth and reheat while stirring. Season with salt and pepper.
Stir in the basil strips and divide the soup evenly into four glasses. Add the shrimp with the broth to the potatoes. Garnish with basil and toasted bread and serve.
