Tomato and Wild Blue Shrimp Pasta for Two

January 4, 2013 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 11 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Yah, it’s finally Friday!! I know it was a short work week, but I can tell ya the weekend doesn’t come around quick enough!  Since time is running short for me today, I’m going to get right into my recipe.  Today I have for you, Tomato and Wild Blue Shrimp Pasta for two.  This is a wonderful and quick recipe that is sure to please any shrimp loving fan!!  it’s slightly sweet, savory and the big pieces of shrimp, is oh so good!

Tomato and Wild Blue Shrimp Pasta

When I was at the Foodbuzz event this past October I met a wonderful vendor who made Aunt Aggie’s Tomato Smash, which is a tomato relish!  This was the best food at the event, I’m not kidding about that.  All the other bloggers raved about it!  I was lucky enough for Tomato Smash to send me a jar of their fantastic tomato relish.  Yah!  What I like about Tomato Smash is that it is organic and the flavors, oh the flavors is like sweet tomatoes meet savory herbs.  I don’t know what it is, but it’s like they have magical heirloom tomatoes or something?  The company is located in Sonoma County, up near Napa which is local to me and the best part is, they pick their own heirloom tomatoes from their garden to make the relish.  How cool is that?  No wonder why it’s so good!!   It’s sweet, yet it has a nice, almost balsamic taste to it.  I can’t quite pin point it, but it is simply out of this world!  I have been holding off on finding the perfect recipe to use my Tomato Relish and I think this dish is perfect with it.  If your interested in Aunt Aggie’s Tomato Smash, you can check out there website.

Tomato Smash


Now don’t despair if you don’t have Tomato Relish, you can always use your favorite tomato pasta sauce for this dish!  This dish is a snap to whip together!   I cooked up my spaghetti and while that was going, in a large skillet, I sautéed my Wild Blue Shrimp with olive oil infused with basil, a little onion, a little garlic and right at the end I added the Tomato Smash.  I cooked it until the sauce was warm and then dinner was served!  Dinner came together in about 20 minutes.  The longest part was waiting for the water to boil.  I hate waiting for water to boil, so annoying!

Tomato and Wild Blue Shrimp Pasta

This dish was a hit with my Husband.  I know I said to serve only 4 oz of shrimp each, but my Husband ate 3/4’s of a pound of it.  He loves his shrimp and he loved this dish!!  The plate I am showing you is my Husbands dish and there is more than 2 oz of pasta on it.  However I’ll be honest with you, I made spaghetti squash and the squash did not turn out, it was quite bitter and I felt the pictures of my meal were not worthy.  So you’re getting Hubby’s dinner portion instead.  But thank goodness I did make more than enough pasta!  I stole some of his and scrapped off my topping from the squash.  Nothing worse than a bad squash!  Ick!!  Have you ever had a bitter squash?  Not good, not good at all!

    Just cooking with tomato relish instead of tomato sauce is likely to make anyone feel like a professional chef. I do love me some shrimp too! Great recipe!

    This dish looks delicious! I want to make that southwestern soup you posted a few days ago! I think that will make an appearance for dinner in my house 1 night this weekend! 🙂

    Happy Friday!

    I think the number one thing that I’d REALLY like you to make are artichoke hearts. I just recently fell in love with them and the only way I know how to cook with them is out of a jar. However, I would love to know how to make them fresh! So, if you could, put a post about how to cook artichokes and some good recipes to use them with, would be amazing!!!!

    I absolutely love your blog. I visit it daily and I’ve made so many of youre recipes and I’ve yet to have a bad one. So I’m definitely looking forward to what you have to offer this year!

      Oh Samantha! You don’t even know how many times I have bought fresh artichokes, and never made them! For you I shall try!! I know it’s easy, but I think it just takes a little. I’m going to the grocery store in a bit, I’ll see if they have artichokes and if they do I’ll make them for you and I’ll let you know how it goes! Thank you so much for the support and kind comments, you always bring a smile to my face!

Happy Wednesday. I am sharing with you my little o Happy Wednesday. I am sharing with you my little outdoor space with our lounge chairs. Truthfully I wanted to get rid of the lounge chairs as they take up so much room and we never lay on the chaises. However, over the winter my husband made new cushions for the them and I didn’t have the heart to get rid of them. He made the cushions for our dog Samantha who passed away this winter. She loved laying on the lounge chairs. The boys don’t like to sit on them, unless you are on them too. 
☀️
I do like the color combination of this space. It’s relaxing and I just love the Gerbera flowers. I wish I could keep the pillows on them, but my little Sully 🐶loves to tear apart pillows. So the pillows are living in my living room. I’ll bring them back outside if we have guests. 
☀️
Have a wonderful day!

Hello, hello! Long time no see. Life has been busy Hello, hello! Long time no see. Life has been busy the past month or so, and I haven’t really had much to share with you, but this week I am on vacation so hopefully I can get some content to share. 
💙
I am sharing with you one last look of my blues in my living room, as I plan on adding some yellow. I’d like to say with the warmer weather it’s time for Summer decor, but it has been unseasonably cool here. We are still in the 70’s and windy. Great for the plants, but not me. I need some 80’s. This is just wacky weather!
💙
What’s the weather where you live?

My patio area is kind  of an awkward space because we used to have a large pool that we took out a few years ago. We built our space around the pool. So we have lots of odd corners, but it works for us. I really like my backyard.

I went with light cool colors for my backyard space because of the heat and sun. I have always loved the coastal look. I do love to add a pop of color with flowers. Give me all the flowers! 

I hope you check out everyone’s outdoor space. I love this time of year and I can always use more outdoor inspiration.

Happy Wednesday! My friend Kelly @farmtotablecreat Happy Wednesday! My friend Kelly @farmtotablecreations made a gorgeous DIY Tabletop Firepit and I had to run out and got all the pieces to make one of my own. Kelly’s is so gorgeous and fun. Perfect for evenings outside.
🩵
However, when I started to make mine I realized that my dogs are to interested in it, as you can see from the video. I was afraid they would try to get close to the fire and burn themselves. So I came up with another idea, where I could get the same effect without the fire.
🩵
A couple weeks ago my friend Claire @huntersridge_designs shared some solar candles that I thought were pretty, and would be great to use on my table. I’m a sucker for anything solar. 😂 So of course I ordered some. I decided to use the solar candles in my pot in place of the tiki fire. I think it turned out great. I just need to add a few more rocks to it, which I’ll get this weekend.
🩵
Be sure to check out Kelly @farmtotablecreations to see her firepit and also check out how Claire @huntersridge_designs styled her solar candles. Both of there accounts are inspiring.
🩵
Have a wonderful day!!

Happy Wednesday! I have spent so much time working Happy Wednesday! I have spent so much time working outside that I have not worked on decorating my dining room for Mother’s Day or Spring. It’s a bare slate as of right now. So I thought I would share with you last years tablescape that I did for Mother’s Day.
💗
This Mother’s Day,(Saturday) little Jenny is taking me to the @gratoncasino to get a pedicure and possibly lounge at the pool, if it is warm enough outside. Then we will go for a nice lunch. I can’t wait. Sunday, I’ll spend Mother’s Day with the boys. 🐶🐶
💗
Hope you have a fabulous day!!

Happy Monday! I’ve had a semi-productive weekend Happy Monday! I’ve had a semi-productive weekend in between the rain and cold. It was pretty chilly to me. I did get some plants planted and my husband added a new drip line in my big garden. Hopefully my flowers will thrive better this year. 
🌷
On Friday, I watched 3 episodes of Firefly Lane on Netflix. If you like girl type series, I highly recommend. It’s so well written. It’s about best friends growing older together. Unfortunately this is the last of the series. I’ll miss it. I also read that Yellowstone will come back in November and that will be the end of the series. I’ll miss that show. At least I have Virgin River to look forward too. My husband likes Virgin River too.
🌷
Anyway, here is a view of my clean kitchen. I put together this little vignette for Mother’s Day inspiration. I love the Italian Soda from Trader Joe’s, but boy does it give me bad heartburn. I always just drink a little. Actually, anything sparkling, except regular soda, gives me heartburn. So strange. 
🌷
Have a great week!

Happy Saturday! Wow I haven’t shared on a Saturd Happy Saturday! Wow I haven’t shared on a Saturday in forever. Today we are getting rain again. Last week it was 90 and sunny and now back to the 60’s, but we are going to hit 90 by next weekend. I can’t wait. I’m over this wacky weather we are having. 
💙
I took down my Easter decor a few weeks ago and went back to using blues and greens in the living room. I think the colors look fresh and clean. Once the weather gets nicer, I’ll start to add in some yellows. I love yellow for the summer.
💙
Next weekend is Mother’s Day. Do you have any plans for the holiday?
💙
Have a wonderful weekend!

Happy Wednesday! I am so excited to share with you Happy Wednesday! I am so excited to share with you how I styled @myclaireburke pieces that I received. Let me tell you I love Claire Burke. I have been using there products for more than 25 years.
💗
In my 20’s, I used to go to Macy’s with my mom and in the bedding department they had a section of Claire Burke. I always bought there Original Scent potpourri. It smells like spring flowers with roses and lavender and it’s also beautiful to look at.
💗
If you are looking for a Mother’s Day gift, I highly recommend. I love the Original scent, if you like a floral scent. If you are more for fresh clean scent, the Sea Salt and Grapefruit is amazing. If you like fresh linen I recommend Wild Cotton. I promise they won’t disappoint. Oh and the Electric Fragrance Warmer is also Claire Burke. Works fabulous! 
💗
My Claire Burke ships fast too! They were kind enough to give my followers a 20% discount code: PBANDP.
💗
Have a beautiful day!!

Happy Monday! This weekend I was finally able to g Happy Monday! This weekend I was finally able to get outside and work on my patio space, but unfortunately I don’t think I’ll be able to enjoy it this week. We are back to winter temps, high winds and rain. They are calling it “May Gray”. Such weird weather this year. 
🌼
I was able to put out my new rug that you all helped me to pick out. I just love the blue. I decided to go with blues and yellows for my outdoor space. I think the yellow brightens up the space. I just need to get more flowers because after all you can never have too many flowers. 
🌼
I wanted to also share with you my new side table from @vicllax_outdoor. I love the white color. It really helps to brighten this space. The table is made of metal, comes in 4 colors and is easy to put together. This table is perfect for a small space too. I couldn’t be happier. 
🌼
Have you setup your patio space yet?

Happy Tuesday! This weekend we had amazing weather Happy Tuesday! This weekend we had amazing weather. Sunny, light breeze and in the 70’s. I did a lot of yard clean-up. I just need some dirt and my raised beds will be ready for planting.
🌼
I planned on working on the patio area, but time just went to fast. My husband repaired the trellis that fell over from the wind. We had the Morning Glory on it, but we got rid of it because it is highly toxic to dogs. I ordered a climbing rose from Heirloom Roses that will be delivered next week. 
🌼
I’m sharing with you the Beverage Tub that I bought from Target that I am using as a planter. My husband drilled 1/4” holes 4” apart on the metal insert.  I added a pot to the tub to give the flowers a lift. The handles on the tub are not bendable and I didn’t want to break the flowers and I wanted it to be easier to lift the flowers out, if I decide to change the flowers.
🌼
I love the look! Once I work on the patio area, I’ll move the table and flowers to the patio area. So excited to be working outside. Have a beautiful day!
