Testing out a new shrimp receipe and wld like some ideas for a great side dish.

Answer 1

One Nice Recipe

8 bell peppers, 2 yellow, 2 green, 2 red, 2 orange (or any other color you like, purple), the tops cut off, deseeded, and deveined
1/2 a medium onion, diced
small penne pasta, or any other small pasta you like, macaroni is great, about a cup
1 8 oz can tomato sauce
2 cloves of garlic, chopped, or minced
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon dried basil
16 thin slices of mozzarella cheese, or any other kind you like, cheddar, gouda, American..
salt and pepper to taste

Cook your onions, garlic, herbs, and spices, in a wok, or skillet, saute for about a minute, add your tomato sauce, and cooked pasta.
You may add a 1/4 cup of red wine, if you wish for added flavor.
Stir until thickened, turn off the heat. Let stand 1 minute or 2

Set your bell peppers on a cookie sheet. You may need to slice a tiny sliver of the bottoms so the bell peppers will stand up, making a flat surface.
Lay a slice of the cheese you want to use on the inside bottom of each bell pepper.
Fill each pepper with your stuffing, over-stuffing it is ok, since your stuffing will still be warm.
Bake in a 400 degree oven 15 to 20 minutes.
Add the other 8 layers of cheese to the tops, (if you used 2 or more different cheeses you can mix them up randomly, putting the bottom cheese cheddar, the top mozzarela, etc) and put the tops of the bell peppers over the cheese slices at a slight slant , you can multi-color them if you like, putting the red top over the green pepper, the yellow over the red, etc.
Its ok if the sauce bubbles over, it will look pretty with the gooey melting cheese running over.
Plate these in a decorate way on a nice platter, or round plate. In the center of the peppers, pile your cooked shrimp in the middle, garnishing with fresh chopped parsley, or cilantro.
If you want to make the bell pepper look like people, for a silly fun dish, you can decorate a side of the pepper by putting in whole cloves for eyes, a mouth and nose at the end of cooking. Optional, of course.
Have fun with this dish! Its wonderful!

Answer 2

You could try angel hair pasta or vermicelli or thin spaghetti. Cook the noodles and drain. Toss with a little olive oil to keep from sticking. In a large saute pan or skillet heat some olive oil and put in some fresh garlic and sautee for about 1 minute. Add the pasta and toss until it is hot. Salt and pepper to taste. It is light and goes well with stir fry in place of rice. The flavors are not too overbearing and will compliment and not detract from the wonderful flavor of your shrimp stir fry.

Answer 3

Any kind of pasta. I like angel hair, chinese noodles. Add a little soy sauce, a little garlic, salt, pepper, or red crushed peppers if you like it a little spicy. Throw some veggies in with the shrimp. Add the whole mess together and you have a wonderful meal or on the side

Answer 4

Those crazy asian noodles that pop up when you put them in the pan- they are kind of crispy.
Those would be great underneath the stir fried shrimp and you cook them for just a minute in the same wok pan.

Answer 6

COCKTAIL SMORGASBORD TABLE - DAISY
STYLE

Now, let's set up a super cocktail smorgasbord table. I like to use chaffing dishes, one at each end. Fill one with either Sweet/Sour or Swedish Meat Balls and the other with either Buffalo Wing Dings or Cocktail Franks. Don't forget the TOOTHPICKS, COCKTAIL PLATES AND COCKTAIL NAPKINS. This table is very filling with all finger foods. Always start you r table with an elegant table cloth and candles - lots of candles. You may mix any of the following to get a beautiful spread for either a Cocktail Party, Bridal Shower or afternoon wedding. These are my favorites:

Salmon Mousse Mold with side of crackers.

Krakus Ham and Beef Tenderloin on a platter with Cocktail Rye and Silver Dollar Buns. (Bernaise Sauce and Horseradish Sauce should be served with this.)

A vegetable tray made up of Julienne Carrots and Celery, Rosebud Radishes, Zucchini Sticks, Cauliflower Buds all served with a dish of curry dip in the center.

Bleu Cheese and Port Wine Cheese Ball with side of crackers.

Chicken Liver Pate with side of Rye and Wheat crackers.

Shrimp with my own Cocktail Sauce or

Shrimp Dip with Potato Chips

If this isn't enough variety for your table you can always add Stuffed Celery Sticks, Deviled Eggs either plain or stuffed with crab or shrimp or topped with capers. Any of the appetizers in my APPETIZER section can be combined to make a beautiful table. Be sure to vary your selections by using a variety made up of at least one of each fish, meat, vegetable, chicken and cheese items. I guarantee your table will make you the hit of the day.

Answer 7

Rice noodles tossed with some julienned red and yellow peppers, some thinkly sliced onions or scallions. After it's cooked, toss the whole mess with a small bit of sesame oil and some sesame seeds. Voila!

Answer 8

Shrimp is your protein, rice your starch so you should have something green for a vegetable and a fruit. I would say steamed broccoli (or stir fried broccoli and red and yellow peppers) then fresh slices of pineapple. Also the color of the green veg and yellow pineapple will make it more pleasing to the eye.

Answer 9

Whole Green Beans with a Peanut Sauce glaze

Answer 10

Egg Rolls
