12 cherry tomatoes, halved and seeded
1 teaspoon white sugar
1 pinch oregano
1 celery stalk, chopped
1 carrot, chopped
1 onion, chopped
1 teaspoon peppercorns
salt and ground black pepper to taste
8 large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/2 (8 ounce) ball fresh buffalo mozzarella
1 slice stale bread
1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided, or to taste
2 tablespoons sliced black olives
8 fresh basil leaves, or to taste

1
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
Place cherry tomatoes on the prepared baking sheet, cut side up; sprinkle with sugar and oregano.
3
Bake in the preheated oven until completely wilted, about 1 hour.
4
Meanwhile combine celery, carrot, onion, peppercorns, and salt in a saucepan. Add enough water to fill the saucepan halfway. Cover and bring to a boil for 10 minutes. Add shrimp and poach for 5 minutes. Drain, peel, and chop shrimp.
5
Cut buffalo mozzarella into cubes; place in a colander or sieve to drain off excess water.
6
Place bread in the bowl of a food processor and pulse to make breadcrumbs. Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add breadcrumbs and cook until crispy and golden in color, about 3 minutes.
7
Mix the buffalo mozzarella cubes with cooked shrimp in a large bowl. Add chopped black olives and season to taste with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Arrange on a serving plate and top with caramelized tomatoes and toasted breadcrumbs. Drizzle with some more olive oil and garnish with basil leaves.
