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. The Seven Hills Winery Sauvignon Blanc with a 4.7 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 16 dollars per bottle.

Seven Hills Winery Sauvignon Blanc

This Sauvignon Blanc is deliciously zesty with bright fruits and green herb characteristics, yet has an underlying richness resulting in a wine of medium body and substance.It is a delightful aperitif and will pair well with seafood and salads.
