Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.

- Serve Gamberi al Marsala over a bed of creamy polenta or with crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
- For a variation, you can add sliced mushrooms or spinach to the dish for extra flavor and nutrition.
