Need side dish ideas to go with Barbecued seafood salad with salsa romesco

[Michpoppyseed]

Hosting a lunch tomorrow and serving as the main Barbecued shrimp, octopus and scallops with salsa romesco and I'm looking for any suggestion to serve as a side dish. As well as the seafood the salad has bbq'd potatoes and zucchini. Looking for more of a carb side dish .. rice/couscous etc? thanks

the potatoes *in* the salad are throwing me because i'd be more inclined to serve it as a mixed grill...or toss the seafood with pasta and serve it with hearty crusty bread and a green salad.

have the potatoes already been mixed in? if not, i'd keep those as a side and serve a nice leafy or chopped salad.

but if you still want to serve a separate starch, i'd go for garlicky bread, or maybe rice with saffron and smoked paprika.

Great ideas, thanks! I love the garlic bread idea and seeing as we have several men who are big eaters the rice with saffron and smoked paprika will work well!

yes you're right.. I forgot to mention that the potatoes & zucchini are also bbq'd but served separately.

thanks again
