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 Hills Sauvignon Blanc. It has 4.2 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 9 dollars.

Hills Sauvignon Blanc

Pale gold in color, aromas of grapefruit, honeydew melon, and freshly cut lawn introduce juicy flavors of limeade and white peach. The finish is creamy with notes of apple blossom driven by prominent, but soft acids.
