Heat oil in a small saucepan over high heat. When it just starts to smoke, add shrimp shells and heads and saut‚ for 1 minute, stirring constantly, or until bright pink in color. Add shallots, garlic and anchos.

Lower heat and cook, stirring constantly, for about 4 minutes or until shallots, garlic, and anchos are lightly toasted.

Add tomatoes, cilantro and serrano. Raise heat to medium and cook 2 minutes. Add stock. Lower heat and simmer gently for 15 minutes. Do not reduce. Pour into a blender and puree until smooth.
