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!

    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!

Hi Everyone! I’m done decorating my kitchen and Hi Everyone! I’m done decorating my kitchen and oh my gosh, I love it!! Pink is so fun! I thought I would share with you how I styled my kitchen sink area.
💗
The inspiration for this space came from the stunning pieces that I was gifted from my friend Britni @arcadian.collective. I love her shop! Such timeless, elegant pieces that will last a lifetime.
💗
I received from Arcadian Collective the solid marble Seraphine Butter Bell, Vintage European solid brass Salt & Pepper Mill, Carrara Cielo Marble Stone Serveware and the cutest pink little Christmas candle. Check out my Arcadian Collective highlight for more details on each product. They would make a great holiday gift!
💗
Hope you have a wonderful day! I’ll be working on the living room today.

Happy World Kindness Day! This weekend I made my a Happy World Kindness Day! This weekend I made my annual snow jar to place on my shelf in the kitchen. You get a tiny sneak peak of my shelves at the end of the reel. The snow jars are so easy to do and you probably have most of the items on hand. 
💗
For the snow, I used blanket snow. You could also use, sugar or Epsom salt. I like the blanket snow because it’s not messy and it hides the fairy lights battery pack.
💗
The houses are ornaments that I bought at Target. I thought they were Perfect for my pink kitchen. Of course you can use whatever you have on hand. It doesn’t have to be a house and tree.
💗
If you buy fairy lights, make sure they have a timer on them. Trust me that will make life easier. If you don’t like fairy lights, you can use a faux candle. 
Ohhh and have a stack of batteries. I go through more batteries in the month of December then I do the rest of the year!
💗
Items used:
Apothecary jar
Fairy lights with timer
Pink house ornament
Bottlebrush tree
Pink ribbon 

Everything, but the pink ribbon was bought at Target. 
💗
Have fun creating! If you make one, tag me so I can share!!

Happy Monday! Here is a little throwback from last Happy Monday! Here is a little throwback from last years Christmas. I plan on doing green again in the living room. I just think it looks classic, plus I have all the decor already. So no need to buy more.
🎄
But I still do plan on doing pink in my kitchen. I figured I could use some pink everyday pieces that I already have and add pops of pink ornaments and pink little Christmas trees. I plan doing some shopping this week to see what I can find in pink. I’m so excited!! 
🎄
Have a fantastic Monday!

Happy Monday! Sorry I haven’t been on in awhile. Happy Monday! Sorry I haven’t been on in awhile. My husband was sick with the flu, then he passed it on to me. My dog even had an upper respiratory infection. Ugh! It was a rough 2 weeks. Then on Friday I had surgery to remove skin cancer on my chest. I’m sore and I can’t lift or exercise. Anyway, that’s why I have not been on.
🦇
I wanted to give you one last look at my Halloween kitchen before I change it out. Not sure if I’m going to add some Fall or Christmas next. Did you know Christmas is in 63 days? 😳
🦇
So I have been thinking about Christmas colors. The past 2 years I have done green and I love it, however I have always wanted to do a pink Christmas. Just not sure if I can pull it off? I don’t know if I want to go crazy and buy a bunch of pink? What color are you doing this year?
🦇
Have a great day!!

Hello! Happy October! Hope you are having a great Hello! Happy October! Hope you are having a great start to the month. I received the cutest fragrance package from @myclaireburke. I couldn’t wait to add these wonderful fragrances to my home.
🍎
The scent I received is Apple Jack & Peel. It’s fresh apples with cinnamon and a hint of citrus. It smells like fall. Reminds me of when we go to Apple Hill to go apple picking, which we will be doing next week.
🍎
The scent is warm and cozy and the candle and potpourri is so pretty. Not only do these look so pretty in my home, but they would make such a wonderful housewarming gift. I wish you could smell them.
🍎
If you are looking for Fall and Winter scented fragrances. I highly recommend checking out @myclaireburke

Have a great day!

It’s time for my annual pumpkin bath picture. I It’s time for my annual pumpkin bath picture. I don’t know what it is, but I love to give pumpkins a bath. Don’t they look cute bathing in the sunlight with bubbles around them? lol
🎃
There are two methods that I have used  in the past; the chlorine bath and the dish soap bath. This is what I have learned.
🎃
My favorite and only way I wash pumpkins now is using dish soap.  It gets rid of the sap and makes them clean. I soak my pumpkins for about 20 minutes. The pumpkins will last until December. Plus if you keep your pumpkins after the holidays it will decay and grow pumpkins the following year. Plus it’s safe for animals that may nibble on your pumpkin.
🎃
The chlorine bath method will make your pumpkins last possibly up to a year. They take very long to break down and I never got my pumpkins to seed themselves. Plus it is not safe for animals in my opinion. Though Clorox Bleach says it’s safe, they just taste salty.
🎃
The key to washing pumpkins is to make sure that you get the area around the stem dry. You don’t want water around the stem. This could make your pumpkin rot sooner. So after the bath, dry your pumpkins off very good. 
🎃
Did you get your pumpkins yet?
.
PS if you are in the Bay Area, I highly recommend going to @threenunnsfarm to get your pumpkins. They have a wide variety and the pumpkins and are .75 a pound. I bought all these pumpkins for $42.
