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.

- 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.

Whisk in the olive oil in a slow stream until blended. Whisk in the celery, parsley, onion, scallion, mayonnaise and hot sauce. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Fry until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes per side.
- Place 2 fried tomato slices on each plate. Top with the shrimp and drizzle with the remoulade.
FRIED GREEN TOMATOES WITH REMOULADE
The green tomato is an anchor of Southern cooking. I like to fry them until they're brilliantly crispy and golden brown. It's so simple and straightforward, just like Southern food should be.

Steps:
- For the remoulade: In a small mixing bowl, combine the mayo, shallots, scallions, mustard, cayenne, hot sauce, lemon juice, Worcestershire, a pinch of salt, and lemon zest. Adjust the seasoning with more salt and hot sauce if needed and reserve. Makes 1½ cups.
- Fry the tomatoes: Bring cast-iron skillet to medium-high heat. Season the green tomato slices with salt. Set aside on a rack fitted over a rimmed baking sheet, which will later become the cooling rack after frying. Find 3 similarly shaped shallow baking dishes. In the first, add flour. In the second, pour the eggs. In the third, add cornmeal. We are creating an assembling line of dredging. One by one, flour a tomato slice on both sides, dunk in the egg mixture, and then dredge in the cornmeal. As you finish each tomato, stack them on a cutting board.When the skillet has preheated, add the oil and heat to shimmering. Fry the green tomatoes until golden, about 2 to 3 minutes per side.
- Assemble the dish: When the tomatoes are crispy, golden brown, and heated through, place them on the cooling rack. Dollop a tablespoon of remoulade on a serving plate and arrange the fried green tomatoes over the sauce. Garnish with some arugula, more remoulade and serve immediately. Nobody wants soggy tomatoes!

FRIED GREEN TOMATOES W/SHRIMP REMOULADE
This has been posted for ZWT II. Found on the net, Mark Twain was quoted as saying "New Orleans food is as delicious as the less criminal forms of sin." The dish was further described - "This has become a modern classic appetizer in New Orleans, having originated at the Upperline Restaurant Uptown, then appeared at Uglesich's & spread to points beyond. It's simple, really -- just adding 1 ingredient to the classic Shrimp Remoulade, but it makes a big difference. Cool salad, cool & tangy sauce & shrimp, over piping hot & crunchy fried green tomatoes. This is New Orleans w/a touch of the Deep South & a hint of Creole-Italian. That's a beautiful thing." My recipe source was gumbopages.com/recipe & it would be nice to think this "form of sin" survived. (Times were not specified, so have been estimated)

FRIED GREEN TOMATOES WITH CRAWFISH OR SHRIMP REMOULADE
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.

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.
- Dip the slices in the beaten eggs and then coat with cornmeal.
- 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.

Tips:
- Select firm, unripe green tomatoes: These tomatoes will hold their shape better during frying and provide a satisfying crunch.
- Slice the tomatoes evenly: This will ensure that they cook evenly and consistently.
- Use a light dredging of flour: This will help the egg wash adhere to the tomatoes and create a crispy coating.
- Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet: This will help achieve a golden brown crust on the tomatoes.
- Fry the tomatoes in hot oil: This will help create a crispy coating and prevent the tomatoes from becoming soggy.
- Drain the tomatoes on paper towels: This will remove excess oil and help keep the tomatoes crispy.
- Serve the tomatoes hot with your favorite dipping sauce: Remoulade sauce is a classic choice, but you could also use ranch dressing, ketchup, or your favorite barbecue sauce.
Conclusion:
Fried green tomatoes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, main course, or side dish. They are a great way to use up unripe green tomatoes and are a perfect addition to any summer meal. With a crispy coating, juicy interior, and flavorful dipping sauce, fried green tomatoes are sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
