Zest and juice 1 orange
1/3 cup Marsala wine

**********************************************************************************************

The sweetest of the Marsala wine with the orange zest, gives a special flavor to this shrimp dish. You can serve this dish as an entrée or appetizer. Be sure the shrimp is dry before you sauté. Sautéed wet shrimp dilutes the sauce and does not allow the shrimp to caramelized properly for best taste.
