Just finished the movie A Good Year. It was absolutely stunning to watch!!!
Dinner tonight was simple and delicious –
Chilled Sun-Dried Tomato Shrimp Pasta Salad
We steamed some South Carolina shrimp, peeled ’em and tossed them with Karen’s sun-dried tomato pesto (from last night’s post) with spinach, zucchini and kalamata olives. So much fresh flava!!!
It was enjoyed by all!
I sipped on Matt’s wine a bit but stuck to sparking water myself. Love the La Croix flavored ones.
During the movie we had MORE of that MELON!
And now I’m ready to crash….
….Crash into the waves of Carolina Beach!!! Leaving early tomorrow! Be back for breakfast first – see ya!

Mmm, what a refreshing summer dinner! I love how you’re using hummus as the salad dressing – seems like that’s been happening over at Allie’s blog, too! 😀

That looks wonderful! I am going to have to try it!
Lisa says
I would have to try those waters to see what you mean. I once tried a plain La Croix seltet water on a flight, and I found it to have a metallic taste. Maybe their flavored ones are better, but I’ll stick to Polar and our local grocery brand seltzers for now.
Have a great trip to the beach.

Love cold pasta on salad. I usually make extra so I can top a salad with it…if Hunni doesn’t get to it first :0)
Ashley@thehungryscholar says
Looks like a great pasta. Safe travels!

Mary @ Bites and Bliss says
That dinner looks fabulous!!! Gourmet even. 🙂
Krista @ Can't Survive on Yarn Alone says
Great looking dinner. We make something similar but with black olives instead of the kalamata olives. I’m going to have to try that!
Michelle @ Turning Over a New Leaf says
I’m just now getting into the La Croix waters. I’m so not used unsweetened seltzer, so it’s taken me a while to get over the feeling that I’m taking Alka-Seltzer, but I’m coming around! I look forward to trying the flavors other than cran-raspberry. 🙂
Stacey @ Tipping the (Kitchen!) Scales says
Oooh, that dinner looks fab but I have never tries shrimp! Perhaps I should?!
Chelsea @ One Healthy Munchkin says
Yum, I love sundried tomato pasta! That’s an awesome idea to use the leftover pesto as a sauce.
Kacie @ Nonexistentcolors says
Ohhhh my gosh!!! The shrimp pasta looks amazing!!!! I’ve totally been a shrimp kick this week!!! I did Grilled Tequila-Lime Shrimp the other day (http://www.non-existentcolors.com/2010/06/fine-fresh-fierce.html) and last night whipped up Rissoto and Shrimp!!! (http://www.non-existentcolors.com/2010/07/theres-no-place-like-home.html) Enjoy your vacation!!!!! A beach would be heavenly!!!
