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 😀

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.

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.

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.

Happy Thursday! This week is just flying by, which Happy Thursday! This week is just flying by, which is okay by me. Yesterday I worked on my bedroom and it feels so good having a clean bedroom. It was a chore that I needed to get done.

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?

Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll be counting down to my next vacation, which will be the week of the 4th of July. I will tell you, it felt so nice not having any plans and doing work in the garden.
🌻
This weekend I finally made it to the Farmers Market and I picked up these amazing sunflowers. They are such a happy flower. 
🌻
When I got them, I couldn’t resist doing a flowers in the sink photo. I haven’t done one of these since Fall. Now I may have to go back to the Farmers Market next weekend because they had so many flowers and most were only $4.00 a bundle. 
🌻
Do you you like to go to the Farmers Market?

Happy Friday! My vacation is officially over and I Happy Friday! My vacation is officially over and I pretty much spent the whole week working in my garden, so I apologize for all the flower photos. 
🌸
This is a view of my fenced in garden. The flowers on the left are zinnias, and next to them is beardtongue and in the background, butterfly bush.  In about a month or so, this background will pop with lots of orange from my Mexican sunflower and yellow from the black eyed susan. I just hope my black eyed susan’s make it. They are struggling. 
🌸
I have to say I have been enjoying working in the garden. It’s therapy to me. It just makes me feel good to sit back and see all your hard work start to bloom. I can’t wait to see what the garden looks like a month.
🌸
What do you like to do that you consider your therapy?
