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. One wine you could try is Esperto Pinot Grigio. It has 4.5 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 10 dollars.

Esperto Pinot Grigio

Brilliant straw color with reflections of gold. Crisp and clean with delicate nose of orange flower and wild rose with apricot, white peach and orange peel. Crisp, dry and well structured with golden apple and citrus.Wonderfully versatile. Excellent as an apertif and the perfect complement to light appetizers, salads, grilled chicken and fresh seafood. Enjoy well chilled.
