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. You could try Alois Lageder Terran Alpina Vigneti delle Dolomiti Pinot Grigio. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.2 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 16 dollars per bottle.
