I'm wondering how many pounds of shrimp it would take to yield 2 lbs. of shrimp shells...

Gosh, probably at least 8 or 10. Maybe if you stash your shells in the freezer each time you have shrimp? And all your lobster shells too : )

didn't even notice that! Maybe they sell shelled shrimp and therefore have access.

Traditionally a fish stock (essentially what is being made up to the cream and shrimp part)is cooked 2o min vs the long cooking of Chicken and beef varieties. I understood that some of the flavor etc is imparted as the stock cools, so I would cook this a little shorter and let it cool a bit before straining.
