Shrimp and Spicy Mango Sauté

When you don't have much time to cook, the right condiment can add layers of flavor in a flash. Oil-packed Indian mango relish (not chutney, which is too sweet) combines earthy turmeric and fenugreek with the tang of mustard and green mango. Find it in the international aisle of your grocery store.
Wine pairing: A bright but aromatic white like Maryhill Winery 2014 Viognier (Columbia Valley; $18). The fruit flavors in the wine lean toward mango with this pairing. It's a mouth-filling, sweetly aromatic wine that's terrific with shrimp, and its crisp acidity works well with the pickled fruit.
