Recommended wine: Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, Pinot Grigio

Shrimp works really well with Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, and Pinot Grigio. These crisp white wines work well with shrimp prepared in a variety of ways, whether grilled, fried, or in garlic sauce. The Barefoot Bubbly Extra Dry with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 15 dollars per bottle.

Barefoot Bubbly Extra Dry

Barefoot Bubbly Extra Dry Champagne offers aromas of ripe apple complemented by hints of citrus. Toasty flavors complement the creamy, lingering finish. Best served chilled (36-40 °F), this bubbly is perfectly balanced with multiple layers of fruit to delight the palate.
