Mediterranean Shrimp

Wine works well as a delicate acid component in marinades. In this recipe, it is combined with lemon juice, olive oil, and garlic to marinate shrimp. The shrimp is packed with flavor before it even hits the skillet, and the marinade is reduced to form the base of a delicious sauce. Marinating time aside, the dish is ready in less than 10 minutes.

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons olive oil, lemon juice, wine and garlic. Then add the shrimp. Cover and let stand in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes.

Reduce heat to medium and simmer for about 5 minutes.
