Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

Heat the olive oil in a large, wide saucepan or medium Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp, about 5 minutes. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the tomato paste and stir until softened, about 30 seconds. Sprinkle the onion with flour and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, until it forms a paste, about 1 minute.
Pour in the broth and milk, stirring until the mixture is smooth. Add the potatoes and season generously with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.

Add the shrimp to the soup and simmer until pink and firm, 4-5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the basil. If the soup becomes too thick, thin it with a little water. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
