Method: 

Heat olive oil in a large saute pan over high heat. Season shrimp with the Old Bay seasoning and saute in hot oil for 3 minutes. Add onion, garlic, mushrooms, and celery, and cook 3-4 min­utes more. Deglaze with white wine, add orange juice and vinegar, and allow it to reduce by half. Add tomatoes and cream, and cook until the sauce becomes thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Stir in the basil and black pepper, and remove from heat.
