Recommended wine: Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, Pinot Grigio

Shrimp works really well with Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, and Pinot Grigio. These crisp white wines work well with shrimp prepared in a variety of ways, whether grilled, fried, or in garlic sauce. The St. Francis Sauvignon Blanc with a 4.8 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 16 dollars per bottle.

St. Francis Sauvignon Blanc

Sonoma County Sauvignon Blanc captures crisp flavors and aromas of citrus, kiwi and white peach with a touch of lime zest and grapefruit on the finish.Excellent as an aperitif or paired with salads, sushi, seafood and fresh, young cheeses.
