Peel the asparagus and trim off the woody ends. Bring the chicken stock to a boil, add the asparagus, and cook until al dente. Remove the asparagus. Trim the tips and set aside as a garnish. Stir the cream into the stock and simmer for 8 minutes. Chop the remaining asparagus and puree it finely with the stock in an electric blender. Pass through a sieve and return to the stove. Bring to a boil and add the crème fraîche and the wine. Over low heat, whisk in the cold butter until lightly thickened. Season with sugar and salt. Clean the thawed shrimp by making a small cut along their backs to remove the intestines. Fry briefly in a pan in butter and season with salt and pepper.
