Step 1
Pat dry thawed shrimp and place in a bowl with 1/2 tsp baking soda, 1/4 tsp crushed pepper and 1/2 tsp kosher salt. Place in fridge.
Step 2
Chop garlic cloves in half. Chop cherry peppers into bite size pieces. Julienne the basil. Break the plum tomatoes apart with hands or pulse in a blender for 2-3 seconds.
Step 3
In a sauce pan heat 4 Tbsp olive oil on medium heat and saute the garlic for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Add the cherry peppers and saute for 1 more minute. Add the tomato paste and break it up with a wooden spoon.
Step 4
After about 5 minutes the paste will start to break down, add the plum tomatoes, 1/4 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp of oregano. Mix thoroughly and let the sauce cook partially covered for 10-15 minutes stirring occasionally.
Step 5
In a clean pan heat 1-2 Tbsp of olive oil on medium high heat and saute the shrimp for 3-4 minutes until pink and cooked through. Add 1 cup of the sauce to the shrimp and cook for 1 more minute mixing well.
Step 6
Remove the shrimp arrabbiata from the heat and add the basil and a swirl of extra virgin olive oil. Serve the extra sauce on the side with crusty Italian bread and for anyone who would like more sauce on the shrimp. Enjoy!
