Instructions
Peel and devein shrimp. Bring water to a boil; add shrimp, and cook 3 to 5 minutes or until shrimp turns pink.
Drain well; rinse with cold water.
Cut each shrimp in half crosswise, and place in a small bowl.
Combine sour cream and next 5 ingredients, stirring well.
Add sour cream mixture to shrimp, and toss gently. Cover and chill thoroughly.
Cut cantaloupe in half crosswise with a sharp knife to form 2 large cups; remove and discard seeds. If needed, slice about 1/8 inch from bottom of each melon half so that it will sit flat. Spoon shrimp mixture evenly into lettuce-lined cantaloupe halves.
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. The Zind-Humbrecht Calcaire Pinot Gris with a 4.7 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 46 dollars per bottle.

Zind-Humbrecht Calcaire Pinot Gris
Bright yellow/gold color, quite luminous. Superb smoky toasty nose, typical for this grape on limestone in Alsace (no new oak in our wines, just very long total lees contact). Some light reductive aromas that actually fit the style of dry Pinot-Gris. The palate is rich and creamy, with a velvety texture yet fully dry. It is an easy wine to drink now as there is no unnecessary weight. The finish is nice and round but fully dry. The complex limestone blend brings great acid balance and a certain weight. It should develop very nicely over the next few years.
