Shrimp with Asparagus and Tomatoes #ShrimpShowdown / Giveaway

March 24, 2014 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 24 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Happy Monday to you!  Today I have a wonderful recipe that is light, fresh, easy to make and just so delicious.  But before I get to my recipe I wanted to let you know that I teamed up with OXO, Eastern Fish Company and NFI Shrimp Council today to share with you how healthy shrimp is and how easy it is to clean your shrimp using OXO products.  Plus, at the end of the post I have a super fab giveaway!!  So let’s get the party started!!!  Let me share with you my recipe for Shrimp with Asparagus and Tomatoes.

Shrimp with Asparagus and Tomatoes
This dish is just amazing! The shrimp is plump, juicy and cooked to perfection. The asparagus is tender and the tomatoes are pop in your mouth perfect. I just really love asparagus and tomatoes together, they are the perfect complement to each other and add some shrimp and brown rice and you have the ultimate perfect well-balanced dinner.
Shrimp with Asparagus and Tomatoes #shrimpshowdown
I received 5 pounds of unpeeled shrimp from Eastern Fish Company, the worlds largest importers and marketers of shrimp. They began in 1974 primarily as a fish and crab trading company sourcing products from Alaska and Canada.  By 1982 we re-directed our focus to the burgeoning farm-raised shrimp industry and began supplying fresh, consistent, premium quality shrimp.  Glad they are around!  The shrimp in this recipe is out of the is world and HUGE!!!  My Husband almost fell over when he saw how big they were!!

Shrimp with Asparagus and Tomatoes
In my past shrimp recipes, you may have noticed that when use shrimp I always buy uncooked shrimp. I like un-cooked shrimp because you can tell when it’s done without over cooking it. Since I received 5lbs of shrimp that came un-cooked, with peel and vein, I thought I would share the step by step instructions on how to prepare your shrimp to get it ready to eat! If your shrimp is frozen, place it in a colander and run cold water under it until it is un-thaw. This will take a few minutes. I used OXO 3 Piece Large Bowl and Colander Set. It made it perfect for rinsing the shrimp!  See how big they are!
Preparing Shrimp
The the next step is to peel the skin from the shrimp, by starting with the legs and pulling the skin off, that is pretty easy. Next is de-veining the shrimp. This can be a tad more tricky. Look for the blue vein on the underside of the shrimp. Use the OXO Shrimp Cleaner to peel away the vein from the shrimp by holding the shrimp in your hand, look for the blue line that runs down the shrimp, then take the shrimp cleaner and carefully insert the ridged side of the cleaner and cut down the shrimp. The blue vein will come right out. It is actually pretty quick and easy to do. I was dreading this part, but actually, I had fun doing it!

Next step is to rinse your shrimp under cold water until it’s nice and clean.
Washed Shrimp  #ShrimpShowdown
Now were ready to cook! In a pan I added chicken broth instead of oil and steamed my asparagus for a few minutes. Then I added the shrimp, tomatoes and some chili pepper flakes. And cooked it until the shrimp is pink on one side, then I flipped it with my handy dandy OXO 12″ Tongs with Silicone Heads. Cooked the other side until no longer pink. Then squirt some lemon juice over the top.

I served my dish with a side of brown rice and let me tell you it was so good! I even had it the next day for lunch and didn’t even need to re-heat it. It’s really good cold too!! My friends at work were so jealous when I brought shrimp for lunch. ha ha

Happy Monday! I did a little bit of Spring cleanin Happy Monday! I did a little bit of Spring cleaning this weekend. I wanted to give my kitchen counters the less is more look.
🫧
I did have a very hard time taking my sink tray off the counter. I’ve had the tray there for years, so I thought I would change it up. Don’t be surprised if the sink tray makes its way back. 😂 I may add some herbs to my window sill for some fresh green color.
🫧
I used @cloth.bristle to clean my kitchen counters and sink. I love cleaning my sink with it. It makes it so sparkly and smells good too! Love that it’s all natural. 
🫧
The beautiful spring tea towel is from my friend Alicia from @theblessedpeach.

The tray and canister is Targets Hearth and Hand. The marble paper towel holder is Target Threshold. The soap is Trader Joe’s!

Hope I inspire you to do a little spring cleaning!! Have a great Monday!

Happy Friday! Our next winter storm is here! It is Happy Friday! Our next winter storm is here! It is just awful out there. Heavy rain, high winds and hail. This is not a winter that we are used to in California. 
🥕
My husband and I are not fancy when it comes to eating dinner. Since it’s just the two of us, we never use the dining room table, but always eat at the kitchen counter.
🥕
There is no reason why we can’t eat fancy at the kitchen counter. I am using my new placemats that I got from @vmathome. They are thick, water, stain resistant and can handle heat up to 350F degrees. I love the color and style of the placemats. They have a wide variety of styles and colors, along with matching table runners.
🥕
I styled my table with bright spring colors that I was inspired by carrots. I still have bunnies on the brain. lol I had fun with this place setting, it’s so nice to have dinner with a little style then having it on a plain plate and paper napkins.
🥕
Have a wonderful weekend!!

Happy March 1st! Everyday is a day closer to Sprin Happy March 1st! Everyday is a day closer to Spring. I looked back last year at this time and my garden was starting to flourish. Boy you should see it now. It’s a big muddy mess. With all the rain and high winds we sure have a huge mess to clean. I can’t wait until we get some warm days. 
🐰
I’m sharing with you one of my favorite vignettes that I created last year. I may have a slight obsession with bunnies. Every year I say no more buying bunnies, but then I end up with a few more in my collection. Lol
🐰
Have a beautiful day!

Happy Monday!! Hope you had a nice weekend! I’ll Happy Monday!! Hope you had a nice weekend! I’ll be honest, I great intentions on decorating my house this weekend, but with the rain and cold, I got pretty lazy. I had packages that were supposed to arrive last week, but with the winter storms here on the west coast, my packages seem to be stuck in Nevada. This weather is so crazy!
🌸
Here is my little corner of my living room with a little pop of spring. Sorry about the lighting. With this weather, photographing is not easy.
🌸
I added a pillow that I got from Target and a white blanket I already had on hand. I of course had to add some bunnies. The wooden bunny with the flowers is from my friend Abby @ittybittycottage. 
🌸
Have a wonderful Monday!!

Happy Wednesday! We are getting such crazy weather Happy Wednesday! We are getting such crazy weather. We are having extreme winds again and boy is it cold out. It’s only in the 30’s right now and tomorrows high is in the 40’s. Normally by now I am planting seeds in the ground and prepping for Spring gardening. I don’t see that happening anytime soon. Where’s the California Spring weather?
🐰
Since we don’t have Spring outside, I thought I would bring Spring in the house. I bought my first fresh bouquet of tulips. Aren’t they pretty? This makes me so happy. Plus I couldn’t resist bringing the bunnies out. They seemed to have multiplied since last Spring. lol
🐰
This Spring vignette was inspired by the beautiful welcome sign from @krumpetshomedecor. I love the bead handle and the cute little bunny on it. The sign is reversible, swipe to see other side. So you can use it all year. It would be beautiful in an entry, guest bedroom and on your front porch.

Happy Monday! Hope you had a nice weekend. Yesterd Happy Monday! Hope you had a nice weekend. Yesterday we watched on Netflix Your Place or Mine with Reese Witherspoon and Ashton Kutcher. If you like the classic Rom-Com movies you’ll enjoy it.
💗
I added a little of Spring decor to my bench in my living room. I will probably change this spot up once I pull my spring decor out, but for now I like it.
💗
It’s crazy how big this space looks in video, when it’s quite small. I call this my runway zone because the dogs run through this space like maniacs. So I have to keep it light with no breakables. 
💗
The two large pillows are from Target and the little bunny pillow is from the Target Dollar Spot. The throw is from Pier1 when they had a storefront. The sign on the wall is from Krumpets Home Decor.

I have gotten so many questions lately about the runner in my kitchen that I thought I would share with you a close up and some information about it. This is not a collaboration. 
🐾
The vinyl runners are from @vmathome. They are so easy to clean, pet friendly, anti-slip, and durable. I love these vinyl runners in the kitchen and hallway. If the dogs get dirt or water on them, I just clean it up with a paper towel. They have been a life saver having them with two young dogs.
🐾
The vinyl mat on the first picture is the Dandelion Vinyl Mat. If you swipe the photo you will see the vinyl mat that used last year in my kitchen which is the Charlotte Vinyl Mat. If you sign up for emails, you will get discount codes.
🐾
These two pictures are a year apart. Look how much my baby Sully has grown. 🥹
🐾
Have the best day!
