Shrimp Cocktail in a Tomato Shell
- 1 egg
- 1 lemon, juice of, only
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 bunch dill, roughly chopped
- 1 bunch chervil, roughly chopped (optional)
- 150 ml olive oil
- 4 large tomatoes, hollowed out with tops
- 1 14 lbs shrimp, cooked, peeled
- Crack the egg into the bowl of a food processor, add the lemon juice and mustard and season with salt and pepper, pulse once or twice to blend.
- Add the herbs and pulse again.
- Turn the processor on and, with the motor running, add the oil in a thin, steady stream through the top of the lid.
- After a minute or two, the mixture will change consistency as it blends and will emulsify into a thick, rich mayonnaise.
- Stop adding oil when the mayonnaise has reached the desired consistency (you may not need to use all the oil).
- If the mayonnaise is too thick, you can thin with a little bit of water.
- Cut a thin slice off the tops of the tomatoes to create a lid, and with a teaspoon carefully hollow them out, discarding the pips and flesh.
- Pile the shrimp inside of the tomatoes, drizzle over the mayo and place the lid on top.
