Notes / Tips / Wine Advice:
Wine Pairing:
Pair this spicy seafood sensation with a crisp, refreshing Spanish white wine such as Albariño or Verdejo. Their acidity will balance the heat from the chili pepper and enhance the robust tomato flavors. Alternatively, a light-bodied Spanish rosé would also complement the dish, adding a touch of sweetness to contrast with the spiciness.
