For a low carb dinner I'm making shrimp alfredo (no flour). What else?

Question

I thought to make some sauteed button mushrooms on the side but I need something with color to go along as a vegetable. Would rather not do carrots but what would you do as an additional dish?

Answer 1

Personally I'd lightly steam some spinach (or maybe asparagus).
Or if you want some thing a little fancier, sautée some green beans along with a red pepper sliced into very thin strips.
Use olive oil to sautée and finish with freshly ground pepper and a splash of balsamic vinegar.

Or you could do a salad, either a green salad with a light vinagrette (I think Caesar would be too much since you've already got garlic and cream in the alfredo sauce)
or just slice up some fresh tomatoes, some fresh mozarella (bocconcini?) and fresh basil then drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

Answer 2

Green beans rox!! Try that or maybe a small dinner salad. With the variety of vegetables out there you really cant go wrong with any of them!!

Answer 3

If you want a good pasta substitute, try making long shreds of zucchini with a potato peeler. Saute a little and use in place of pasta. serve with peas or broccoli to compliment shrimp.
