Salt and freshly ground black pepper 680grams

shrimp, shelled and deveined 1large

tomato, halved

Recommended wine: Pinot Grigio, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc

Pinot Grigio, Riesling, and Sauvignon Blanc 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 Alois Lageder Terran Alpina Pinot Grigio Vigneti delle Dolomiti with a 4.3 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 16 dollars per bottle.
