Tropical Shrimp Salad with Pineapple Mango Dressing

March 26, 2013 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 23 Comments

Hi Everyone,

I have to ask you, do you have a nosey dog?  I do!  We have the standard wooden fence that surrounds our backyard and there are a few knots in it, and those knots have a tiny peep-hole.  Well I keep catching my dog looking through the peep-hole with his one eye.  Yup, in one eye!  He loves to watch our neighbors.  He’s so weird!  I keep telling him to stop being so nosey and he just looks at me.  Does your dog do goofy things like that?   I just shake my head, thinking what a weirdo!  Well anyway, on to today’s recipe.  I have been on a major tropical food kick lately and as I think about it, I was this way last year too!  I guess I am just ready for summer!

Tropical Shrimp Salad

I was at Whole Foods last week and they had shrimp for $6.99 a pound and I couldn’t resist that price.  I normally pay $12.99 a pound, so this was a deal.  I spent a couple of days debating on what to make with it, and then on Sunday I was craving a big, light tropical salad.  I think I crave salad every Sunday? Probably because I weigh myself on Mondays?  So I whipped together this Tropical Shrimp Salad in a matter of minutes.

Tropical Shrimp Salad


The salad is full of fresh papaya, mango, pineapple, avocado, cucumber, tomatoes, sweet bell peppers, scallions and of course shrimp.  This was the first time I ever bought a papaya and I thought it would be perfect with my shrimp.  Since I had left over fruit, I cut it all up and put it in freezer bags for smoothies!  Yum!  I never waste anything!!   That was my New Years resolution!  I got so sick and tired of wasting food an money, and I have to say, I’ve been doing a pretty good job at not wasting any!

Tropical Shrimp Salad

The dressing is very simple and contains no oil.  It’s made with the pineapple and mango from the salad and I added just a pinch of sugar for sweetness.  It’s thick, slightly tangy and sweet.  It is a perfect companion to this salad!  I really enjoy salad dressings made with fresh fruit.  It’s low-calorie, no fat and nothing beats fresh!!  The salad in general is a light, slightly sweet and has a tad pinch of creaminess from the avocado.  It was perfect!  All I needed was a pina colada to go with it.  Maybe next time!

    I do not have a dog, but I can swear that sometimes I have this feeling that my cat is human or the strangest animal in the world. And now I must visit Whole Food and check out prices for shrimps 😀

Happy Thursday! A couple weeks ago I was inspired Happy Thursday! A couple weeks ago I was inspired to clean under my kitchen sink from my friend Claire @huntersridge_designs. Let me tell you I couldn’t be happier.
🧽
When I opened my cabinets, everything fell out. I had like 10 million Target bags jammed in the back, sponges everywhere and 1/2 empty bottles of cleaners.
🧽
I measured my space in the cabinet and was lucky enough that the items Claire purchased for her under the sink were the exact fit for my cabinet. 
🧽
The drawers are a game changer. Highly, highly recommend the drawers. I filled them with sponges, and dishwasher tabs. Now they are not lost and easy to grab. 
🧽
The storage bins were purchased on Amazon. Check out Claire’s Instagram page for links.
🧽
Is your under the sink organized?

Happy Wednesday! I wanted to say to you thank you Happy Wednesday! I wanted to say to you thank you so much for all your kind messages about the loss of Samantha. I was overwhelmed by all your kindness. It meant so much to me. Thank you.
❤️
I wanted to share with you my wall in my dining room that I decked out for Valentines Day. I felt that I needed to add some flair to go around my sign from @krumpetshomedecor. I bought  the tissue paper hangings from Amazon. So much fun!
❤️
Sully is my little ham. He saw me taking photos and went over and had to pose. He sure loves the camera. 😂
❤️
The sign and most of the decor on the table is from Krumpets Home Decor. I have a 10% discount code: PBANDP. Link in my bio. As an fyi, Krumpets Home Decor also ships to Canada.
❤️
Have a beautiful day.

The Kissing Booth sign is reversible and the other side says kissing booth, kiss me I’m Irish with green writing and green lips. I’ll share the other side in stories. It’s so cute!

Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep clea Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep cleaning in my kitchen on Monday. I washed the floors, cabinets, counters and decluttered the countertops. It feels so good and everything is so bright and clean. Well….
💖
My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.
💖
What do you do to get inspiration?
