Prepare the Sauce: In a small mixing bowl, combine the chicken broth, cornstarch, and either snipped fresh basil or dried basil. Set this mixture aside for later use.
Sauté the Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms, yellow sweet pepper, green sweet pepper, and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté the vegetables for about 3 minutes, or until the peppers are just tender.
Add the Sauce: Once the vegetables are tender, add the broth mixture and the undrained Italian-style stewed tomatoes to the skillet. Cook and stir the mixture until it becomes bubbly.
Cook the Shrimp: Next, add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the skillet. Cover the skillet and let the mixture simmer for about 2 minutes, or until the shrimp is cooked through and the sauce is heated.
Serve: To serve, spoon the shrimp mixture over the cooked linguine. If desired, sprinkle some Parmesan cheese on top for added flavor, and garnish with fresh basil leaves for a touch of freshness.
