Stir in tomato paste and cook just until the paste starts to lose its bright color.
Add in the oregano, salt, and pepper and stir to combine.
Slowly pour in the water and stir to scrape up any brown bits on bottom.
Add the pouch of shrimp shells into stock and push it down to fully cover.
Bring to a boil then lower to a simmer and simmer for 30 minutes.
