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. One wine you could try is Peju Winery Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc. It has 4.4 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 22 dollars.

This Sauvignon Blanc jumps out of the glass—pineapple, passion fruit, grapefruit and lychee are all very prominent on the nose. The palate offers more lush fruit and bright acidity with notes of creamy lemon tart, guava and apricot with a fresh, clean finish.
