When cooking with wine, what type do you use? Also what is a good white wine to use when sauting shrimp?
Honestly I use dry vermouth as my white wine and sweet vermouth in place of red wine. I don’t drink a lot of wine so that means I don’t have to open a bottle I’m not going to drink. For this recipe I think I just used a Cabernet. But you can use almost any red. A white would work but red would be better. For shrimp I use dry vermouth or a dry Chardonnay.
