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 Vigneti delle Dolomiti Pinot Grigio with a 4.2 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 16 dollars per bottle.

Alois Lageder Terra Alpina Vigneti delle Dolomiti Pinot Grigio
Alois Lageder Terra Alpina Pinot Grigio is bright yellow in color with pronounced flowery aromas with a hint of spice; medium-bodied with good minerality and a precise finish. Pairs well with fish and shellfish, poultry, white meats as a starter or with the meal
