Shrimp with Asparagus and Tomatoes #ShrimpShowdown / Giveaway

March 24, 2014 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 24 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Happy Monday to you!  Today I have a wonderful recipe that is light, fresh, easy to make and just so delicious.  But before I get to my recipe I wanted to let you know that I teamed up with OXO, Eastern Fish Company and NFI Shrimp Council today to share with you how healthy shrimp is and how easy it is to clean your shrimp using OXO products.  Plus, at the end of the post I have a super fab giveaway!!  So let’s get the party started!!!  Let me share with you my recipe for Shrimp with Asparagus and Tomatoes.

Shrimp with Asparagus and Tomatoes
This dish is just amazing! The shrimp is plump, juicy and cooked to perfection. The asparagus is tender and the tomatoes are pop in your mouth perfect. I just really love asparagus and tomatoes together, they are the perfect complement to each other and add some shrimp and brown rice and you have the ultimate perfect well-balanced dinner.
Shrimp with Asparagus and Tomatoes #shrimpshowdown
I received 5 pounds of unpeeled shrimp from Eastern Fish Company, the worlds largest importers and marketers of shrimp. They began in 1974 primarily as a fish and crab trading company sourcing products from Alaska and Canada.  By 1982 we re-directed our focus to the burgeoning farm-raised shrimp industry and began supplying fresh, consistent, premium quality shrimp.  Glad they are around!  The shrimp in this recipe is out of the is world and HUGE!!!  My Husband almost fell over when he saw how big they were!!

Shrimp with Asparagus and Tomatoes
In my past shrimp recipes, you may have noticed that when use shrimp I always buy uncooked shrimp. I like un-cooked shrimp because you can tell when it’s done without over cooking it. Since I received 5lbs of shrimp that came un-cooked, with peel and vein, I thought I would share the step by step instructions on how to prepare your shrimp to get it ready to eat! If your shrimp is frozen, place it in a colander and run cold water under it until it is un-thaw. This will take a few minutes. I used OXO 3 Piece Large Bowl and Colander Set. It made it perfect for rinsing the shrimp!  See how big they are!
Preparing Shrimp
The the next step is to peel the skin from the shrimp, by starting with the legs and pulling the skin off, that is pretty easy. Next is de-veining the shrimp. This can be a tad more tricky. Look for the blue vein on the underside of the shrimp. Use the OXO Shrimp Cleaner to peel away the vein from the shrimp by holding the shrimp in your hand, look for the blue line that runs down the shrimp, then take the shrimp cleaner and carefully insert the ridged side of the cleaner and cut down the shrimp. The blue vein will come right out. It is actually pretty quick and easy to do. I was dreading this part, but actually, I had fun doing it!

Next step is to rinse your shrimp under cold water until it’s nice and clean.
Washed Shrimp  #ShrimpShowdown
Now were ready to cook! In a pan I added chicken broth instead of oil and steamed my asparagus for a few minutes. Then I added the shrimp, tomatoes and some chili pepper flakes. And cooked it until the shrimp is pink on one side, then I flipped it with my handy dandy OXO 12″ Tongs with Silicone Heads. Cooked the other side until no longer pink. Then squirt some lemon juice over the top.

I served my dish with a side of brown rice and let me tell you it was so good! I even had it the next day for lunch and didn’t even need to re-heat it. It’s really good cold too!! My friends at work were so jealous when I brought shrimp for lunch. ha ha

    I think that OXO lemon reamer is my new favorite kitchen tool! And this recipe is making me crave asparagus. I haven’t had any yet this spring, can you believe it? Next time I go to the store, for sure!

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.

I’m sharing heart shaped cinnamon rolls that I made this weekend. I got the idea to make them from my friend Heidi @eleanorrosehome. She made the most delicious looking cinnamon rolls, that I couldn’t resist to make. So perfect for Valentines Day and sooooo easy! 
❤️
I took a can of Trader Joe’s cinnamon rolls and unraveled them, if that makes sense, and rolled them up like a palmier cookie. So fun! You could add food coloring to the frosting to make it pink and add sprinkles. Super cute! You can follow step by step recipe on Heidi’s Instagram page! 
❤️
Thank you Heidi for sharing the recipe. This was so fun!
❤️
Would you rather get chocolate or flowers for Valentines Day?
