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 FitVine Wine Pinot Grigio with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 18 dollars per bottle.

FitVine Wine Pinot Grigio

Slightly dry, with a crisp and clean finish for a wine with less sugar and no flavor additives. Now you can drink what you like and what feels good at the same time. Enjoy a wine with floral notes on the nose, citrus at the finish, and a sweet bouquet of “you did it.” Fulfill your glass.
