The tropical fruit flavor of California and Washington State Sauvignon Blancs complements the coconut and curry flavors of the soup perfectly!

Frozen shrimp from the warehouse club are generally of excellent quality and a great buy. They make this dish reasonably priced as well as quick - perfect for a warming weeknight dinner. Thaw the shrimp by placing them in a colander and running cold water over them for about ten minutes.

Wine Recommendations: American Sauvignon Blanc: Beringer Founders' Estate, Matanzas Creek (California). American Fume Blanc: Hogue, Covey Run (Washington State)
