Recommended wine: Pinot Grigio, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc

Shrimp works really well with Pinot Grigio, Riesling, and Sauvignon Blanc. These crisp white wines work well with shrimp prepared in a variety of ways, whether grilled, fried, or in garlic sauce. The Menage a Trois Limelight Pinot Grigio with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 11 dollars per bottle.

Menage a Trois Limelight Pinot Grigio
Ménage à Trois Limelight shines a spotlight on refreshing citrus flavors in the most dazzling way. Limelight is a new star with sexy orange blossom aromas that lead to zesty key lime and mouthwatering Granny Smith apple flavors that make you pucker up. A touch of honeysuckle sweetness and minerality balance the pronounced citrus notes before the curtains drop with a refreshingly crisp finish.
