Ingredients
Fried Tomatoes:
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
Shrimp:
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
Remoulade Sauce:
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
Directions
- 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.
