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 Alois Lageder Terran Alpina Pinot Grigio Vigneti delle Dolomiti. It has 4.3 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 16 dollars.
