What goes good with shrimp scampi?

Question

My friends invited me and wife to come over tonight and he said he is going to make shrimp I'm pretty sure he is cooking scampi. And this guys works at a high class restaurant and he is one of the chefs so I don't want to bring just mashed potatoes or green beans I want something that he wouldn't expect and something kinda simple but if its really good I would be willing to try it and put in a little extra time

Answer 1

Scampi should be served over pasta and a nice bread to soak up all of that garlicy butter.  

As a side in addition to that I would love a "real" ceasar salad - anchovies and all.  

You could also cook fava beans with bacon and a spritz of lemon.  

Sauteed spinach would be great, Kick it up with shaved garlic and hot pepper flakes.  

Answer 2

I'd go with rice pilaf or orzo for the starch, asparagus or broccoli florets for the veg.

Crusty French bread.

See below for more ideas.

Bon Appetit!

Answer 3

a good crispy french style bread , Cesar salad and a bottle of white wine

Answer 4

When my husband eats shrimp scampi, he always has a baked potato and a salad. Then of course some cheddar cheese biscuits. Dessert a good cheese cake in which you can find these in your local deli at the store.
