Recommended wine: Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, Pinot Grigio

Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, and Pinot Grigio 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 St. Francis Sonoma County Sauvignon Blanc with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 12 dollars per bottle.

St. Francis Sonoma County Sauvignon Blanc

Beautiful and bright, this Sauvignon Blanc offers refreshing aromas of honeydew melon and green apple backed by a cool minerality. Delicate tropical notes lead to a crisp finish of stone fruit and citrus.
