Pickled Shrimp And Fried Tomatoes Recipes

PICKLED TOMATOES

Steps:

• Poke holes in the top of the tomatoes with a skewer.
• In a saucepan, heat the vinegar, salt, sugar and 1 cup water to a rolling boil.
• In a mason jar, add the rosemary, lemon zest, peppercorns and garlic. Add the cherry tomatoes and pour over the hot vinegar mixture. Screw a top on the mason jar. Let cool, then refrigerate. The pickles will last up to 2 weeks refrigerated.

FRIED GREEN TOMATOES WITH SHRIMP AND REMOULADE SAUCE

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.

PICKLED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Bring water, salt, lemon juice, peppercorns, and pepper flakes to a boil and poach the shrimp. Drain and place in heat proof bowl. Bring marinade ingredients to a boil and pour over shrimp. Allow to cool and refrigerate. Can be kept refrigerated for up to 2 weeks.

GRILLED SHRIMP PO' BOY WITH PICKLED GREEN TOMATOES

Steps:

• For the quick pickled green tomatoes: Combine the vinegar, sugar, pickling spices and 1 cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and cook until the sugar dissolves, about 3 minutes. Keep warm.
• Place the tomatoes in a 1-quart sterilized glass jar. Pour the vinegar mixture over the tomatoes and seal the lid. Refrigerate until ready to serve. (These can be enjoyed right away but are best refrigerated overnight.)
• For the spicy lemon-dill aioli: Stir together the mayonnaise, onion, House Seasoning, dill, lemon zest and juice, hot sauce and sugar in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• For the grilled shrimp: Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
• Sprinkle the shrimp with the House Seasoning. Grill until the shrimp are cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes on each side.
• To serve, spread the desired amount of spicy lemon-dill aioli on the rolls. Top evenly with the grilled shrimp, shredded lettuce and coarsely chopped pickled green tomatoes.
• Stir together all the garlic and onion powder, paprika, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.

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.
