What to serve with Shrimp Salad

Ahoy all you experts of Cuisine:

Any suggestions about what to serve for lunch along with shrimp salad
on a bed of lettuce? One of the luncheon guests will be bringing a
melon/berry fruit salad.

Beer would be the ideal accompaniment, but I'm guessing that's probably out.

Just a thought...couldn't resist. My vote is for the avocado too.

PoohBear,

What is the recipe for your shrimp salad, if you don't mind sharing
it?

BTW, Avocado is good any time. I would include fresh lemon slices.

Biker,

I don't have a set recipe per se. I usually get out my trusty old
cookbooks for help: The Joy of Cooking or a very old edition
published by Good Housekeeping and try to adapt it to LC. It's turned
out pretty good each time.

I've pretty much decided to go with the avocado, thanks, Biker!

HunnyPot!!
