Shrimp Mozambique

From our friends at ATK, this is a super easy and delicious weeknight meal. Serve it with your favorite starch or alternative (rice, pasta, veggie noodles). I have pictured here with pan seared zucchini noodles sautéed in a bit of olive oil. I have modified the recipe to be "sauce heavy" as we in the Oberto clan love LOTS of sauce, rather than scale all the sauce ingredients, I scaled down the protein. Feel free to scale for your crew. This dish has great depth of flavor despite its humble ingredients. Give it a try, you will love it.

Add onion and ½ teaspoon salt and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add wine and bring to boil. Cook until reduced by half, about 4 minutes. Add shrimp and cook, stirring occasionally, until opaque and just cooked through, about 4 minutes.
