1.
Heat the butter in a large heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat. When the foam subsides, add scapes and leeks; reduce the heat to medium-low. Season with salt and pepper, cover pot with lid; cook 8-10 minutes or until tender, but not browned.
2.
Add the potatoes and the chicken stock, increase the heat to medium-high, bring to a boil and then reduce heat to simmer. Cook 30 minutes, until potatoes are fork tender. Using an immersion blender, puree soup until completely blended and smooth.
3.
Stir in the buttermilk and season again with salt and pepper. Set aside
4.
Add shrimp, radishes, chives, lemon zest and bean sprouts to a large bowl and mix gently until combined.

Pour about 1/2 cup soup into a small bowl or large glass. Top with a portion of the shrimp mixture; repeat for the remaining ingredients and serve.
