Swimming with the Big Fish

It looks like you already heard that California Ripe Olives and seafood make a great pair. We asked you to send in your favorite recipes with this awesome twosome and we were swimming in your fantastic responses!

MELBOURNE SEAFOOD PASTA

Ingredients

1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
3 cloves garlic, minced
6 scallions, chopped
3 Tablespoons butter
2 Tablespoons snipped fresh dill
3/4 pound fettucini, cooked
1 cup chopped tomatoes
2/3 cup California Ripe Olives, halved
Grated parmesan cheese to taste

Directions

Sauté shrimp, garlic and scallions in butter until the shrimp is no longer translucent. Stir in dill. Toss with pasta, tomatoes, California Ripe Olives in a large serving bowl. Serve immediately with grated parmesan cheese. Serves 4.





From the tasty tidal wave of ideas, we reeled in plenty of recipes that came close, but only one could be the winner. How appropriate that Karen Tritley from Coral Gables, Florida knew just how to swim with the big fish (or cook with the little shrimp as the case may be)? Her recipe uses just the right combo of fresh shrimp, California Ripe Olives and juicy tomatoes, to create a simple, but flavorful meal. Plus it’s easy enough to prepare for an extra special weeknight treat. So, what are you waiting for? Dive in and give it a try.

Congratulations to Karen Tritley. We hope she enjoys her California Ripe Olive apron and the case of California Ripe Olives that goes with it.
