What wine with spicy shrimp and noodle stir fry?

I am making some exceptionally spicy shrimp stir fry served over chow main noodles. Ingrediants besides shrimp and noodles: fresh garlic, fresh chiles, fresh cilantro, fresh ginger, green onions, straw mushrooms and fresh lime juice.





I normally like it with beer but some guests tonight do not like beer. What can I do for wine here?|||Normally you wouldnt serve a wine with an exceptionally spicy dish since the alcohol will exagerate the spicy burn. But if you must have something, either a sparkling wine or a dry reisling would be preferable.|||You are having shrimp, therefore you should have a white, crisp wine. Sauvignon Blanc is a good choice. For more typical, Chardonnay or Pinot Grigio, Chenin Blanc. A dry Riesling would be good as well. My 3 favorites would be a Pinot Grigio, Riesling, or Sauvignon Blanc.





Reds are usually best served with Pasta or red meats.|||The basic rule of thumb is that red wine goes with meat %26amp; white wine goes with seafood. In this case, I think Pinot Grigio would be awesome!|||Typically I would say a dry white but I recently tried a Red Zinfandel (yes, red) with a spicy Thai shrimp dish and it really brought out the flavors.|||you can serve "merlot, chardenay, white zinfindel, lancers rose wine or blush wine...they go good with anything


or you can go to the liquor store and ask the vender whats good with seafood.


hope it helps
