Tasty Flatbreads

• Naan or pita, any type of flatbread works when it comes to curry shrimp. Naan is an Indian flatbread while pita is a Middle Eastern pocket bread. Both breads are round and relatively flat, and both are made from wheat. Both breads provide a mellow flavor that helps calm the fire of hot curry shrimp. You can use the bread to soak up the shrimp's sauce, serve the curry over the bread or, in the case of pita, stuff the bread with the seafood dish.

Tempting French Breads

• Crusty French bread is made with wheat and while it’s usually white bread, you can also find it in whole wheat versions. The bread has a subtle, sweet flavor with a crunchy outside and soft inside. It works best dipped into curry as opposed to using it for a sandwich, as the soft insides quickly turn soggy from the curry sauce.

Yummy Italian Breads

• Italian bread is similar to French bread, just not as crusty. Made from wheat, Italian bread can be plain or with toppings, such as herbs or seeds. The moist bread has a mellow and sweet flavor that pairs well with everything from sweet to spicy shrimp curry. Like French bread, Italian bread works best for dipping into the curry, as opposed to topping a slice with curry.

Savory Specialty Breads

• Many specialty breads pair well with the complex flavor of shrimp curry. Try a spicy kick by complementing a mellow curry with jalapeno bread. Add a soft herbal flavor to the shrimp dish with a slice of rosemary bread. Serve the dish with roast garlic bread to give the meal a smoky flavor.

Tantalizing Breadsticks

• Breadsticks may not be the most traditional bread for shrimp curry, but they are a tasty option. Whole wheat or white, breadsticks come in many shapes and flavors. The sticks are handy for soaking up the last drops of curry sauce from a bowl. You can use plain breadsticks to help soften the blow of a strong curry or seasoned breadsticks to help add flavor to a light curry.
