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!

Happy Wednesday! I don’t know about you, but we Happy Wednesday! I don’t know about you, but we never eat our meals at the dining room table. We always eat at the kitchen counter. It’s convenient, easy to clean and it’s close to the food. Plus as a bonus, we get a nice view of the backyard.
💕
Just because you eat at the counter doesn’t mean you can’t create a pretty place setting. I like creating a place setting for my husband and I. It makes for a lovely meal and feels a little fancier.
💕
I was gifted this gorgeous flatware from @inoxartisans. This is the Chantilly Flatware 5 piece set. It’s handcrafted with 18/8 stainless steel. It has a nice weight to it, well made and it’s comfortable in your hand. The flatware is also dishwasher safe. 
💕
You can dress up the Chantilly Flatware with an elegant meal or use it for a more casual meal. If you are looking for new flatware INOX Artisans has a wide variety of styles that comes in gold, copper and silver.

Happy Tuesday! I was outside early evening yesterd Happy Tuesday! I was outside early evening yesterday taking pictures of flowers and I felt a shadow flying around me. I looked up and there a Monarch butterfly. 
🦋
I don’t see Monarchs very much, I was delighted when I saw this orange beauty flying around. It landed on a Zinnia before it took a rest on my Butterfly Bush. Isn’t it beautiful? It made my day. It’s the small things.
🦋
I highly recommend a Butterfly Bush in your garden. The flowers come in a range of colors from white, pink to purples. They do well in zones 5-9. The flowers smell amazing and bloom all season. They are also a great butterfly attractor and fairly easy to grow.
🦋
Do you get butterflies in your garden?

I’m still working in my dining room and I wanted to share my new reversible sign that I got from @krumpetshomedecor. It’s a beautiful 24x9 sign that I thought it would be perfect in my dining room. 
🌸
I love sitting around the table with friends and family and tell stories, laugh, play games and have a good time. I thought the side of the sign that says “Enjoy Every Moment” was perfect.

Happy Thursday! Last week I cleaned my bedroom and Happy Thursday! Last week I cleaned my bedroom and boy does it feel so nice to have a clean room.

One of the things I added was my new bedding that I got from @lushdecorhome. Let me tell you, it is so luxurious. This is the 3 piece Belgian Flax Linen Rich Cotton Blend Bedspread. It is so soft and gets softer with each wash. 
💕
I have a tall bed and the ruffles just reaches the floor. The bedding is filled with cotton that gives the bedspread such a comfy feel. The bedspread is perfect for the summer, as it is lightweight, but warm enough to keep you cozy in the winter. The set comes with two pillow shams and the bedspread. It also comes in 4 colors. 
💕
I love my new bedding, it’s so feminine and simply beautiful. I couldn’t be happier. Swipe the photo to see how happy Sully is on the bedding.

I updated my little corner by adding some pops of yellow. I just love adding yellow and I love adding lemons. Speaking of lemons, how cute is my little “Hello Sunshine” pillow is from @krumpetshomedecor.

Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime ta Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime tablescape with @JCPenney + #AllAtJCP + #sponsored +#ShoppingIsBack but you know how I love still photos better. I think you can really see the details of the decor.

💛

I am loving how simple, fresh and light my tablescape feels. It’s the perfect look I was going for. When the idea came for creating a tablescape, I was unclear of what direction I was going for until I shopped at JCPenney. I walked around the decor department and was completely inspired. They had so many styles and colors that would inspire you too.

💛

I saved a highlight of my shopping trip to JCPenney. You must check it out. I’ll be honest, I was blown away by the styles, quality and prices of there store. I will be shopping there quite frequently and you know I will take you along my journey.

💛

What is the style of your home?

💛

PS. Everything on my table is from JCPenney and it is the Linden Street Collection.

My inspiration was my new pillows that I got from @downlitebedding. The name of the pillow says it all “Ahhhhhmazing™ down alternative pillow” and they are amazing.
🐾
The pillows are so soft, plush and are hypoallergenic. They are easily molded so you position your neck, head and arms. The pillows are also washable and OEKO-TEX® Certified Textiles Are Certified Free Of Harmful Chemicals.

I’ll be honest, Downlite Bedding are the only pillows that I sleep with. They are fabulous and will last for years. I highly recommend them. They won’t disappoint you. Downlite Bedding was nice enough to give my followers a 20% off discount code to there shop: DYGEN20.

Hello! I have to tell you that I love summer. It’s my favorite season. I love the sun, hot weather, shirts and flip flops. I could just spend all day outside.
🌻
One of my favorite things to do in the summer besides gardening is going to the Farmers Market. There is something about the atmosphere with people walking around with bags in hand, the smell of kettle corn and everyone is so happy. 
🌻
Besides the atmosphere, you can’t beat the freshly grown produce. It’s mind blowing how different it tastes, then what you get in the store. You almost forget what a strawberry is suppose to taste like until have it at the Farmers Market. Plus you are supporting your community. It’s a good feeling all around. 
🌻
I highly recommend going to the Farmers Market and pick up so corn. Soooooo good!! Stock up on your fruits and veggies and freeze it for winter.

🌸
I’m sharing with you my last photo of my peonies. I’m so sad that they didn’t last. I got about 6 days from them. I guess that’s means I need to go to Trader Joe’s and get more before peony season is over.
🌸
Do you have any summer vacation scheduled this year?
