What to Serve with Asian Shrimp
When making Asian Shrimp, I like to serve roasted vegetables. When the vegetables are roasted in the oven with the Asian sauce, the vegetables take on the flavors and take the great taste of roasted vegetables and elevates it one step farther. Sometimes, I also like to serve Asian Shrimp with rice.
