Fried Green Tomatoes

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fried Green Tomatoes

    Slice the green tomatoes into 1/4 inch thick slices. In three separate bowls, place the flour in one, the buttermilk in the second, and the cornmeal mixed with salt, black pepper, and cayenne in the third. Dip each tomato slice first in the flour, then in the buttermilk, and finally in the cornmeal mixture.

  2. 2

    Fry the Tomatoes

    Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the coated tomato slices until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Shrimp

    Butterfly the shrimp by slicing them down the middle but not all the way through. Dip the shrimp in beaten egg, then coat with breadcrumbs mixed with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

  4. 4

    Fry the Shrimp

    In the same skillet, heat more vegetable oil if needed and fry the shrimp until golden brown and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Make the Remoulade

    In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix well and adjust seasoning to taste.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Arrange the fried green tomatoes on a plate, top with fried shrimp, and serve with white remoulade sauce on the side.
