Ken Smith, Upperline. Upperline's walls are covered with local art, and its menu filled with traditional Creole dishes. This recipe combines two Louisiana favorites with distinct flavors. The tomatoes should be served warm or hot, while the shrimp and remoulade sauce should be cold for contrast. You can substitute crawfish, scallops, or even lobster for the shrimp, or eliminate them and serve the remoulade sauce directly on the tomato slices for a vegetarian alternative. Ingredients:
1 large egg |
1 cup buttermilk |
1 cup yellow cornmeal |
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste |
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, or to taste |
8 (1/2-inch-thick) slices all-green tomatoes (about 2 medium tomatoes) |
6 tablespoons vegetable oil |
24 medium shrimp (about 1/2 pound) peeled, cooked, and chilled |
1 cup remoulade sauce, chilled |
garnish: mixed greens |
Directions:
1. Whisk together egg and buttermilk in a medium bowl. Combine cornmeal, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish. Dip tomato slices in egg mixture, then coat with seasoned cornmeal.
2. Heat oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Place tomato slices in pan in a single layer, and cook until golden brown on bottom, about 3 minutes. Flip and brown other side, about 3 minutes more. Interior should be cooked through but not mushy.
3. Place 2 tomato slices on each of 4 serving plates and top each slice with 3 shrimp. Spoon 1 1/2 tablespoons Remoulade Sauce over each slice, and garnish, if desired. Serve immediately.
