Shrimp

Lemon and coarse sea salt offer simple yet refreshing highlights to otherwise sweet, meaty shrimp. For this dish, I'd reach for a zippy, fresh Sauvignon Blanc, which serves up lemony mineral notes in tune with the briny essence of the sea and the salt. Look for Honig Sauvignon Blanc (about $15). --Jeff Morgan

Shrimp on the menu? Try pairing 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 Rabble Pinot Gris with a 4.9 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 18 dollars per bottle.
