Sparkling Rosé
This boiled shrimp recipe adds the fresh taste of boiled shrimp with a little spice from the black pepper and cayenne. I feel that a chilled sweeter wine pairs perfectly with this dish and I would suggest a Sparkling Rosé. The Sparkling Rosé is not overly sweet and the bubbles add a nice complexion to this dish.
