Roast Tomatoes Stuffed With Shrimp
- 4 tomatoes, firm but ripe
- salt
- fresh ground black pepper
- 14 lb fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 teaspoon rosemary
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 18 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- Preheat the oven to 450.
- Cut a 1/4" slice from the smooth end of each tomato (reserve these slices) and use a spoon to scoop out all of the insides, leaving a wall about 1/4" thick.
- Sprinkle the inside of the tomatoes with salt and pepper.
- Discard the woody core and seeds, and chop the tomato pulp with the shrimp.
- Toss this mixture with the rosemary, mayonnaise, cayenne, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Stuff each tomato with one-quarter of the shrimp mixture and replace the top slices.
- Spread half the olive oil in a shallow roasting pan that will allow for a little room between the tomatoes, then place them in the pan and drizzle with remaining olive oil.
- Sprinkle with salt and pepper and place the roasting pan in the oven.
- Roast for 30-40 minutes until the tomatoes are slightly shriveled and the stuffing is hot.
- Serve hot, warm at room temperature or chilled.
