What are some good side dishes to serve with coconut shrimp?
I like the jasmine rice idea. You can probably spice it up a little too with some various herbs (e.g. cilantro) or some citrus salsa. I think another appetizer to go with it would be a vegetable roll or some sort – spring roll, Vietnamese roll. Or you could do some type of risotto or similar bland dish and put the coconut shrimp on the side or center of the risotto. Don’t make it taste too spicy or too Italian though. The coconut in the shrimp should be the prevailing flavor.
