What are some good sides to go with Shrimp?

Question

If you cooked shrimp as the main item, what are some side items you could cook?

Answer 1

that would depend on the shrimp dish you cooked.

just straight up cooked shrimp is good with stuff to dip it in.

salsa, cocktail sauce, ranch, cucumber dill dip.

but i think that the main dish itself should really give you some ideas.

if the main dish is spicy like say, chipotle shrimp. have a side dish of green vegetables like asparagus in hollandaise sauce. this way you can have somethin' that's not spicy and will cool down the spices a bit.

but if it's a chinese dish like say coconut shrimp then you could have some sauteed mushrooms as a side.

it all depends on preference of the people eatin' really.

Answer 2
