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.

FRIED GREEN TOMATOES WITH CRAWFISH OR SHRIMP REMOULADE



Fried Green Tomatoes With Crawfish or Shrimp Remoulade image

I grew up with fried green tomatoes; however, never thought of adding either crawfish or remoulade sauce until now. The idea comes from The Top 100 New Orleans Recipes of all Time cookbook which was compiled by John DeMers and Rhonda Findley. The book did provide a recipe for the Remoulade but I used Rita L's recipe #87124. The sauce can be made using either crawfish tails if you have them or shrimp. When making please plan ahead, the Remoulade Sauce needs to chill a couple of hours for the flavors to blend.

Categories     Crawfish

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 green tomatoes, sliced 1/4 inch thick slices
cajun seasoning, to taste

1/2-1 cup vegetable oil
1/2 lb crawfish tails or 1/2 lb shrimp, cooked
1 cup prepared remoulade sauce, Remoulade Sauce

Steps:

  • Prepare the Remoulade sauce as per recipe, stir in the crawfish tails or shrimp, reserving several for garnish.
  • If you are using shrimp, chop them so they will be about the size of the crawfish tails or use salad cooked shrimp.
  • Preheat oil in heavy cast iron skillet until it sizzles when sprinkled lightly with water.
  • Season the sliced tomatoes with Cajun seasoning to taste and dust lightly with flour.
  • Please note: If the tomato slices are to heavily covered with flour the cornmeal will not adhere.

  • Fry in hot oil until browned, turning as needed; about 3 minutes on each side.
  • To serve, place 3 to 4 slices on a serving plate, top with sauce and garnish with reserved crawfish tails or shrimp. Can sprinkle lightly with chopped parsley if desired.

Steps:

  • For the remoulade: Whisk together the mustard, horseradish, paprika, yolk, lemon juice and zest and some salt and black pepper in a medium bowl. Gradually add the oil in a slow, steady stream while whisking constantly, until all the oil is incorporated and emulsified. Stir in the celery, onions, ketchup, vinegar, parsley, Worcestershire, garlic and hot sauce to taste. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
  • For the fried green tomatoes: Put the cornmeal in a large shallow bowl and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Season the tomatoes with salt and pepper on both sides. Dredge the tomatoes in the cornmeal on both sides and tap off excess.
  • Heat 1/2 cup of the oil in a large saute pan over medium heat until it begins to shimmer. Fry half of the tomatoes until golden brown on both sides and just cooked through, about 1 minute 30 seconds per side. Transfer with a slotted spatula to a baking sheet lined with paper towels. Season with salt and repeat with the remaining tomatoes and oil.
  • For the shrimp: Combine the celery seeds, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt and pepper in a mortar and pestle and crush into a somewhat fine powder. Toss the shrimp with the spice mixture.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large saute pan over high heat until it begins to shimmer. Add the shrimp and cook until crusty and just cooked through, about 3 minutes (do this in batches if necessary with more oil; the shrimp should be in a single layer).
  • For assembly: Toss lettuce with a few tablespoons of the remoulade and season with salt and pepper. Divide the lettuce among the tomatoes and top each tomato with 3 shrimp. Drizzle with more of the remoulade. Garnish with parsley leaves.
