Cook bacon on medium heat until crispy, remove to a bowl.
Add shrimp, and cook until *just* pink. Sprinkle with a pinch of Old Bay seasoning. Remove to bowl with bacon.
Add onion, carrot, potato, and garlic, season with salt & pepper. Cook until veggies are soft. Stir in Old Bay and smoked paprika.
Add stock, bring to a boil then reduce to simmer, 20 minutes.
Using an immersion blender, blend in some of the veggies, but leave some chunks as well.
Add frozen corn, and return bacon and shrimp. Add cream, and heat until ready to serve.
