Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Green Tomatoes

    Slice the green tomatoes into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Sprinkle with salt and let them sit for 15 minutes to draw out moisture. Pat dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a bowl, combine the shrimp with a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Breading Setup

    In one bowl, place the all-purpose flour. In another bowl, whisk the egg and buttermilk together. In a third bowl, combine the cornmeal, remaining salt, and pepper.

  4. 4

    Bread the Tomatoes

    Dip each tomato slice in flour, then the egg mixture, and finally coat with the cornmeal mixture. Set aside on a plate.

  5. 5

    Fry the Green Tomatoes

    In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Once hot, fry the breaded tomato slices in batches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Cook the Shrimp

    In the same skillet, add the seasoned shrimp and cook for about 2-3 minutes until they are pink and cooked through.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Plate the fried green tomatoes and top with the cooked shrimp. Drizzle with Leroy's Remoulade before serving.
