With the Summer season upon us, it is time to enjoy pasta salads at potlucks and bbq’s. I’m sure we all have our favorite pasta salad recipe. I love Italian style pasta salad and then there is always the creamy mayo style pasta salads. But I really enjoy making pasta salads that have a fun twist, a little something different. Like my Jalapeño Popper Macaroni Salad, Spinach Dip Pasta Salad or this Bloody Mary Shrimp Pasta Salad!
To get the rich tomato flavor, I use Tomato Butter instead of ketchup or tomato sauce. This tomato butter is a tomato reduction flavored with apples, ginger and spices. It is hand crafted in small batches to create that perfectly bright, tangy taste of ripe tomatoes.
I have had Bloody Marys on the brain lately. It is a craving that I have not yet fed. So when I had this deep flavored tomato butter to create a recipe with, I automatically began brainstorming Bloody Mary inspired recipes. And pasta salad seemed like the perfect choice for this time of year.
This side dish will be a nice change from the traditional pasta salads that usually grace your table.
And obviously this would be awesome served with a Bloody Mary Bar!

*Tomato Butter is a thick slightly sweet tomato spread. It is like a combo of tomato sauce and ketchup. It can be substituted with either of those or to get a close substitute, mix half ketchup half tomato sauce.

Ooh that tomato butter sounds intriguing! I do love a good bloody Mary and this salad has all the flavors of my favorite cocktail! Looks incredible!
Thanks Tanya!
Pasta salad is one of my favorite things ever. I love this creative idea!
Thanks!
This sounds so amazing! I want to make it soon.
what is tomato butter?
It is a condensed tomato product, sort of a mix between ketchup and tomato paste. It can be ordered at Nuts.com or you can sub ketchup or tomato sauce.
Yummy dish, one of my husband’s favorite meals. I substituted a tomato chile jam for the tomato butter. So, so good!
Oh, nice substitution!
I need to speak out. I was a bartender for years. NO self-respecting bartender would serve a Bloody Mary with olive juice in it! This sounds like a personal preference. Please state it as such. The rest of the ingredients are correct and the horseradish is optional. B.Karr
Thanks for your bartender opinion 🙂
Excellent reply to that one…you handled it perfectly!! I think it sounds amazing!! Headed to the seafood market and will be making one very similar this weekend 🙂
👍👍
Where can you get tomato butter or tomato chile jam. Nuts.com doesn’t have tomato butter.
can you just pour a bottle of bloody mary instead of all the other ingredients (none dry ingredients)
