Shrimps in wineI can’t think of any other dish that is easier to cook than my shrimps in wine. Well, unless we include grilling or frying hotdogs.

My husband came home last night with three huge grocery bags–lots of chicken, pork and beef. I was a little surprised because I thought we would do the marketing today. Then, I remembered that we could not go out at the same time until the construction of the new kitchen wing is finished. Of course, I was appreciative–he had already taken the trouble to stock the freezer. Problem was that I wanted seafood. I had been thinking of seafood all week. I would have gone to the wet market this morning but he needed to go out again to order the plumbing materials that will be installed next week. Okay… could he pass by the market then and buy some tuna fillets…??? When the kids heard that someone was going to the market to buy fish, they started hankering for shrimps. So we had kinilaw na tuna and this shrimps in wine dish for lunch today. WEll, actually, they had the shrimps; I had the fish.

When my husband got home, he asked me never ever to ask him to go to the public market again to buy seafood. I think he was a little traumatized.

    Hi Louie, well, I’m a little partial to rice wine for cooking. But dry white wine is also good. :)

    Heaven Sent to see thsi website of yours. Our long time cook left and I was left to do the cooking from now on. Its hard because I dont really cook. I only have a few menu’s in mind. Your site helped me alot in having a variety of dishes to serve my family. It it reminds me that cooking is enjoyable and easy. This is the 1st dish I tried in your list of menus since we all love shrimps!

    Hello Ms. Connie,
    May I ask what brand of dry white wine do you use? The white Sol de Espana, is that a dry kind? What about the rice wine? Is that a dry white wine too? Also, when your recipe calls for a white wine, is it ok to use any kind of white wine? What is the difference between a dry white wine and a regular white wine?
    Thank you so much. Please bear with me about my questions on white wine. I have not tried cooking any recipe using wines. But your recipe here looked so delicious I could feel it already. And I do really want to try it but am worried that I might use the wrong kind of white wine and be frustrated in the end.
    Thanks again! Hope to hear from you soon!

    “Dry” loosely refers to not sweet wine. Sol de España is semi-sweet if I remember correctly. I prefer using sweet wines for cooking but that may be because of my Asian background where wines are generally sweet.

    As to the rice wine, I normally use Xiaoxing (brands vary) and it is kinda sweet.
