This evening we had Grilled Shrimp with Grilled Pineapple Salsa, from Epicurious.com. I decided to serve it in a tortilla bowl, and that is a slice of manchego on the side, which was a curiously pleasant counterpart to the salsa. The shrimp and salsa were very good! I have been intrigued by how good fruit based salsas can be.The wine was a 2009 Leitz Out Rheingau Riesling. I pity the poor wine that has to take on the flavor of pineapple, but actually this worked reasonably well--I think the other flavors in the salsa (salt, jalapeño, red onion, cilantro) balanced out the sweetness of the grilled pineapple, so it didn't overwhelm the wine.
