For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of dry white wine to the skillet after cooking the shallots and garlic. If you prefer a thicker sauce, simmer for a few extra minutes to allow for further reduction. Serve over pasta, rice, or with a side of crusty bread to soak up every last bit of the delicious sauce.
