  • 2 tsps cracked black pepper, divided
  • 1 tsp ground fennel
  • 3 tbsps fresh lemon juice

Directions
  • Step #1 Cut along back of shrimp using scissors; devein, but do not remove shell.

  • Step #7 Grill shrimp, covered with grill lid, over medium-high heat (350° to 400°) 3 mins on each side or until shrimp turn pink.
  • Step #8 Wine note: Napa Valley winemaker Jeff Morgan produces SoloRosa, a dry California rosé, & Covenant, a kosher Cabernet Sauvignon.
  • Step #9 Jeff wrote Dean & DeLuca: The Food & Wine Cookbook & The Working Parents Cookbook.
  • Step #10 His recently penned wine book, A Guide to the World's Most Versatile Wine, Rosé, appeared in bookstores in May.
  • Step #11 Below, Jeff pairs wine with this flavorful shrimp recipe.
  • Step #12 Lemon & coarse sea salt offer simple yet refreshing highlights to otherwise sweet, meaty shrimp.
  • Step #13 For this dish, fresh Sauvignon Blanc, I'd reach for a zippy, which serves up lemony mineral notes in tune with the briny essence of the sea & the salt.
  • Step #14 Look for Honig Sauvignon Blanc (about $15).
