Pickled Green Tomatoes And Shrimp Toast Recipes

PICKLED GREEN TOMATOES AND SHRIMP TOAST

Steps:

• Combine 2 cups water, lemon slices, 2 tablespoons brine, and 2 teaspoons coarse salt in a medium pot; bring to a boil. Add shrimp and return to a boil, then immediately remove from heat. Let stand until shrimp are opaque throughout, about 1 minute. Remove shrimp with a slotted spoon; let cool completely.
• Halve shrimp lengthwise and toss with pickles, remaining 3 tablespoons brine, oil, radishes, and celery in a large bowl.
• Stir garlic into mayonnaise, then spread on bread slices. Top with shrimp salad. Sprinkle with flaky salt and dill; serve.

PICKLED SHRIMP AND FRIED TOMATOES

Steps:

• For the pickled shrimp: Stir together the red onions, jalapeno and dill pickle juice.
• Bring a large saucepot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the shrimp and cook until pink and just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Strain well and toss to coat in the pickle juice mixture.
• For the dill pickle dressing: Stir together the diced pickles, pickle juice and sour cream in a small mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper. For the fried tomatoes: Fill a large cast-iron pan with 1/2 inch of canola oil and set over medium-high heat. The oil is hot enough when you dip in a wooden spoon and small bubbles form around it.
• Place the eggs and cornmeal into separate shallow dishes. Sprinkle the eggs, cornmeal and sliced tomatoes with salt and pepper. In batches, dip both sides of the tomatoes in the eggs, and then dredge in the cornmeal. Shake off any excess coating. Fry the dredged tomatoes in the hot oil until golden brown on both sides, 3 to 4 minutes total. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried tomatoes to a paper towel-lined baking sheet or large plate. Repeat until all of the tomatoes have been dredged and fried.
• To assemble, divide the fried tomatoes among 4 large plates. Use a slotted spoon to remove the shrimp from the pickle juice liquid and place on the side of the tomatoes. Drizzle both the tomatoes and the shrimp with the dill pickle dressing.

Bring to a low boil, and then simmer over low heat for 30 minutes. Check frequently; you may need to pull the pot off of the heat occasionally to prevent scorching. Discard spice bag.
• Fill sterilized jars with tomato mixture, leaving 1/2 inch headspace. Garnish with thin strips of red pepper arrange vertically along the sides of the jars.

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.

• Whisk together egg and milk. Dip tomato slices in egg mixture, then coat with cornmeal.
• Carefully place tomato slices in sauté pan and cook SLOWLY until golden brown on bottom, then turn and brown the other side. (Note: If tomatoes are cooked too quickly, the outside will brown before the inside is cooked.).
• To serve, arrange greens on an individual serving plate. Place fried tomato slices next to each other on the bed of greens. Top each slice with three or four shrimp. Spoon remoulade sauce over shrimp.

TOMATO TOAST WITH BUTTERED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Finely chop 2 cloves of garlic and add to a small bowl with parsley; season with salt and pepper and set aside. Thinly slice remaining 4 garlic cloves; set aside.
• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add bread and toast until golden brown on one side, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn bread, adding another drizzle of olive oil as needed and toast on the other side, another 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a large serving platter and set aside.
• Heat butter and remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in the same skillet. Add the sliced garlic and season with salt and pepper. Cook, swirling skillet occasionally, until the butter starts to brown and the garlic is golden, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Add shrimp and season with salt and pepper. Cook, tossing occasionally, until shrimp are bright pink and just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Add white wine, if using, and let cook for a minute or two, just to take the edge off the wine (don't reduce so much that you lose that sauciness, though). Remove pan from heat.
• Place tomatoes on top of toast and sprinkle with half of the parsley-garlic mixture. Spoon shrimp and any buttery sauce in the skillet over the tomatoes and toast. Finish with remaining parsley-garlic mixture and serve with lemon wedges alongside.
