1
Pour the olive oil into a large Dutch oven over medium heat.

When the oil is hot, add the garlic, let sizzle for a minute, then add the celery and carrot.

Cook and stir until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
4
Pour in the tomatoes, then slosh out the can with 1 cup hot water and add that as well.
5
Season the sauce with the oregano and peperoncino, bring to a rapid simmer, and cook until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
6
Toss the scallions, mushrooms, zucchini, bell pepper, and salt into the pot.
7
Bring the sauce to a simmer, and cook until the sauce is thickened and the vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes more.
8
Stir in the shrimp.
9
Simmer until they are pink and just cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes.
10
Stir in the basil, and serve as I like to do, over rice, pasta, or even polenta.
