Recommended wine: Pinot Grigio, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc

Shrimp can be paired 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 Ostertag Les Jardins Pinot Gris with a 4.6 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 35 dollars per bottle.
