I got this idea from the restaurant I work at in New Braunfels (McAdoos Seafood Company). It is on hour Happy Hour Menu (3:30-6:30, M-F). It's pretty simple and inexpensive. If you can't find green tomatoes, small tomatoes on the vine will work. Make sure they are firm.
6 green tomatoes
Thirty 41-50 cold boiled shrimp (41-50 refers to the size, meaning 41-50 per pound)
Seasoned flour
Remoulade sauce (homemade or store bought is fine)
Frying oil
Buttermilk
Chives (for garnish)
Slice the tomatoes (about 1/4 inch thick) and soak in buttermilk for about 30 minutes (just enough to cover the tomatoes). Heat peanut oil (canola or vegetable is fine too) to 350 degrees. Fry the tomatoes, about 2 minutes per side. Drain the tomatoes on a paper towel, then top with remoulade and one of the cold boiled shrimp. Serves 4-5 people. I served mine with some left over risotto, but anything from dirty rice to steamed veggies will work. It's up to you.
