Prosecco
Our Shrimp Salad with Dill Cream Sauce recipe is a salad that has lemon citrus notes that are cut by the creamy herby dill sauce. I found this salad to pair very well with a Prosecco. Proseccos tend to have a creamier, slightly sweet character than a French Champagne. They are refreshing and citrus notes pair well with the dill flavors that emanate from this salad.
