Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup Dijon mustard
1/4 cup whole-grain mustard
2 cloves garlic, smashed to a paste
1/2 teaspoon sweet Spanish paprika
Few dashes hot sauce, such as Frank's RedHot Sauce
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup finely diced celery
1/4 cup finely diced red onion
1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions (green and pale green parts), plus more for garnish
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, plus more for garnish
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Clover honey, to taste, optional
1 cup plus 3 tablespoons canola oil
2 cups fine ground yellow cornmeal
1 cup buttermilk
8 slices green tomatoes, 1/4-inch thick (about 3 green tomatoes)
24 large (21 to 25 count) shrimp, peeled and deveined
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Any combination of 1/2 teaspoon each mustard powder, ancho powder, ground coriander and sweet paprika (optional)

Steps:

  • Make the remoulade: Whisk all of the ingredients together in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 48 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
  • Meanwhile, make the shrimp and fried green tomatoes: Heat 1 cup of the oil in a medium high-sided saute pan over medium heat until it reaches 350 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer--or simply add a few grains of the cornmeal into the oil and if it sizzles, rises to top and turns golden brown quickly, the oil is ready.
  • Meanwhile, put the cornmeal and the buttermilk into 2 separate shallow baking dishes and season each with salt and pepper. Place a wire rack over a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Dip each tomato slice in the buttermilk and let the excess drip off, then dredge in the cornmeal, gently pressing to help it adhere to both sides. Place on the wire rack and let sit for 5 minutes.
  • While the tomatoes are resting, heat the remaining 3 tablespoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat until it begins to shimmer. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper (and some spice mix, if using). Add half of the shrimp in a single layer and cook until golden brown on both sides and just cooked through, about 4 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a plate. Repeat with the remaining shrimp.
  • Add the tomatoes to the high-sided saute pan in a single layer and fry until golden brown on both sides, about 2 minutes per side. Remove to the wire rack and immediately season with salt.
  • Top each tomato with 3 shrimp and some of the remoulade. Garnish with green onions or parsley.

Time 45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 21

½ cup Creole mustard
½ cup olive oil
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons prepared horseradish
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons minced onion
2 teaspoons chopped green onion
2 teaspoons paprika
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley
24 cooked medium shrimp, shelled and deveined
1 cup buttermilk
1 egg
2 cups yellow cornmeal
3 large green tomatoes, sliced 1/2 inch thick
¼ cup olive oil, or as needed
2 cups mixed salad greens
3 tablespoons chopped green onion

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, stir together mustard, 1/2 cup olive oil, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, horseradish, garlic, lemon juice, onion and 2 teaspoons of green onion. Season with paprika, pepper, cayenne pepper and parsley. Gently stir in the shrimp until evenly distributed. Cover and refrigerate until needed.
  • In a shallow bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and egg with a fork. Spread the cornmeal out on a plate. Heat 1/4 cup of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add more if needed to maintain an even coating of oil in the bottom of the skillet.
  • Dip the tomato slices in the buttermilk and egg, then dip into the cornmeal to coat thoroughly. Fry slices in the hot oil until golden brown on each side, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and continue breading and frying the remaining tomato slices.
  • To serve, arrange salad greens on six plates. Top each one with two slices of fried green tomato, then spoon some of the shrimp remoulade over the tomatoes and sprinkle with the remaining green onion to garnish.

Provided by Food Network

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

3 cups vegetable oil
2 eggs
1 cup milk
10 ounces hot sauce (recommended: Crystal)
2 green tomatoes, 1/4-inch slices
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups Italian breadcrumbs
4 cups water
2 tablespoons dry crab boil seasoning
1 onion, sliced
1 lemon, sliced
2 ounces hot sauce (recommended: Crystal)
8 large shrimp, shell on
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 ounce Creole mustard
1/2 ounce horseradish
1/2 ounce lemon juice
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 slashes hot sauce (recommended: Tabasco)
Shredded lettuce, for serving

Steps:

  • For the tomatoes: Heat the oil in a deep frying pan or cast iron skillet to 350 degrees F. Beat the eggs, milk, and hot sauce in a shallow dish. Put the flour and breadcrumbs in 2 separate shallow dishes. Dip the tomato slices in the flour, then the egg wash, and then the breadcrumbs. Transfer to the oil and fry until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Drain on paper towels and keep warm until ready to serve.
  • For the shrimp: Bring the water to a boil and add the crab boil, onions, lemons, and hot sauce. Stir and add the shrimp. Boil until the shrimp turn pink. Peel.
  • For the sauce: Combine the mayonnaise, mustard, horseradish, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce.
  • To serve: Line a plate with shredded lettuce. Add 2 slices fried green tomatoes. Top each tomato with 1 boiled shrimp. Fill a squeeze bottle with the remoulade sauce and drizzle decoratively.

Tips:

  • Choose firm, green tomatoes for frying. They should be about 1/2-inch thick.
  • Dredge the tomatoes in flour, then eggs, then breadcrumbs. This will help them to brown evenly and stay crispy.
  • Fry the tomatoes in hot oil until they are golden brown and cooked through. This should take about 2-3 minutes per side.
  • Drain the tomatoes on paper towels to remove any excess oil.
  • Season the tomatoes with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs or spices.
  • Serve the tomatoes immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Fried green tomatoes with blackened shrimp is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer meal. The tomatoes are crispy and flavorful, while the shrimp are juicy and tender. The combination of the two is simply irresistible. You can serve this dish as an appetizer or main course. It is a great way to impress your guests and enjoy the bounty of the summer harvest!
