I am cooking a birthday dinner for my husband.. and I have no idea what goes with shrimp. Shrimp is his favorite food, but I've never had it... needless to say I need so help!! Do things like pasta salad and asparagas go with shrimp??

I'm clueless! Please help me with some ideas! Thanks!!

How are you cooking it? Bread and deep fried, grilled, etc....?

Rice (I do pilaf)
Grilled vegetables (zucchini, squash, mushrooms, peppers)

How about spaghetti and shrimp?

Curry goes very well with shrimp. check out an Indian recipe site for a nice curried rice dish.

Shrimp/low country boil or on the grill w/crab legs and baked potato....and corn on the cob.

I'd just do scampi on linguine with your asparagus on the side. Protein, starch, veg...grate some Parmesan on top... The basic recipe of garlic, parsley, lemon, butter and vermouth (optional) can be supplemented with herbs and spices to create any number of variations: Mexican, Thai, Chinese, Cajun, Moroccan, etc. Really quick meal, too. Just don't overcook the shrimp, and if it's frozen (most are anyway) then brining does give it better flavor and "crisps" the texture. The shells are great for a broth. Waste not want not.

I would suggest corn on the cob, salad, and garlic bread.
