It works well as a main course. Head to the store and pick up olive oil, rice, plum tomatoes, and a few other things to make it today. To use up the unsalted butter you could follow this main course with the Almond Milk Chocolate Pudding as a dessert. It is a good option if you're following a gluten free and pescatarian diet.

Recommended wine: Pinot Grigio, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc

Pinot Grigio, Riesling, and Sauvignon Blanc are my top picks for Shrimp. These crisp white wines work well with shrimp prepared in a variety of ways, whether grilled, fried, or in garlic sauce. The Ziobaffan Organic Pinot Grigio with a 4.6 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 17 dollars per bottle.
