I think Khalifman recommends 11. Bb3 Rfc8 12. h4 Ne5 13. Kb1, when the most popular 13...Nc4 should be met with 14. Bxc4 Rxc4 15. Nb3! Qc7 16. g4!?

There are lots of good systems.  You can find more details on them if you're better with the search feature than I am.  Here's a summary of what I think.

h4 + g4 as in a Nunn-Ward game is very good but requires some preparation since Black has a few different sharp options.  (Check out the devastating Bg7!! sacrifice.)

Kb1 + Bg5 is promoted by Martin in Starting Out: Sicilian Dragon and I think it gives some positional edge.

Kb1 + h4 is the way Khalifman proposes in Opening for White According to Anand and his analysis looks convincing to me.

Even h4 + h5 is probably good, because of the Nd5 endgame line if Black doesn't sac the exchange right away after Nxh5 (see another Nunn-Ward game), and if Black sacrifices the exchange with h5 Rxc3!? Qxc3 Qxc3 bxc3 Nxh5, then I think White can forgo trading bishops and instead play Bg5 with annoying pressure like an FM once played against me.
