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 or Tomato Jam instead of ketchup or tomato sauce. But, if you are unable to find either of those – tomato sauce can be used instead.
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.

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)
They’re called dirty martinis…
Yes they do, its called tomato jam.
Sounds good to me!
Haa anybody tried bloody mary mix
This was delicious and everyone loved it! Its a great salad for a potluck. I didn’t have tomato butter so I used v8 juice mixed with bloody mary flavoring/sauce and it was really great.
