- Hot sauce (Crystal, Louisiana, or Tabasco brand), if desired
- Preparation
- 1. Stir together first 10 ingredients in a bowl. Taste and add salt as needed.
- 2. While whisking mixture, add olive oil in a slow stream. Add celery and next 3 ingredients; stir well. Add a few drops of hot sauce if spicier flavor is desired. Sauce should be spicy and tangy. Cover and refrigerate up to 3 weeks.
- Preparation
- 1. Whisk together egg and buttermilk in a medium bowl. Combine cornmeal, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish. Dip tomato slices in egg mixture, then coat with seasoned cornmeal.
- 2. Heat oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Place tomato slices in pan in a single layer, and cook until golden brown on bottom, about 3 minutes. Flip and brown other side, about 3 minutes more. Interior should be cooked through but not mushy.
- 3. Place 2 tomato slices on each of 4 serving plates and top each slice with 3 shrimp. Spoon 1 1/2 tablespoons Remoulade Sauce over each slice, and garnish, if desired. Serve immediately.
