Recommended wine: Pinot Grigio, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc

Pinot Grigio, Riesling, and Sauvignon Blanc 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. You could try GIFFT by Kathie Lee Gifford Pinot Grigio. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.8 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 15 dollars per bottle.
