Pina Colada Dipping Sauce for Coconut Shrimp

1/2	cup sour cream
1/4	cup pina colada nonalcoholic drink mix
1/4	cup crushed pineapple (canned), drained
2	tablespoons granulated sugar

Combine all ingredients.

I buy the Coconut Shrimp from Costco for dipping in this sauce. I know you can find a recipe to make your own Coconut Shrimp, but if you want to serve this as an appetizer before a main dish, you might appreciate the saved time in buying the shrimp prepared at Costco. I used to want to make everything from scratch. Still the best option if there's time I suppose, but sometimes it's just as yummy to buy prepared foods and combine with homemade, or to add ingredients to prepared foods to add a homemade feel to it (See Easy Potato Salad). I haven't seen much of her myself, but I hear that's Rachael Ray's approach, so it can't be all wrong!

Shrimp and Pesto Salad

A recipe I duplicated, originally made by my Aunt Duane Gibb:

1 package of shrimp scampi (sorry, not sure about the amount - I get the
package from Costco)
1 package of bowtie pasta
Artichoke hearts (also from Costco)
Pesto (I get from Safeway)

Because I am not sure about how much of each, just use your best judgment.
