• Whisk together egg and milk. Dip tomato slices in egg mixture, then coat with cornmeal.
• Carefully place tomato slices in sauté pan and cook SLOWLY until golden brown on bottom, then turn and brown the other side. (Note: If tomatoes are cooked too quickly, the outside will brown before the inside is cooked.).
• To serve, arrange greens on an individual serving plate. Place fried tomato slices next to each other on the bed of greens. Top each slice with three or four shrimp. Spoon remoulade sauce over shrimp.

Steps:

• Prepare the Remoulade sauce as per recipe, stir in the crawfish tails or shrimp, reserving several for garnish.
• If you are using shrimp, chop them so they will be about the size of the crawfish tails or use salad cooked shrimp.
• Preheat oil in heavy cast iron skillet until it sizzles when sprinkled lightly with water.
• Season the sliced tomatoes with Cajun seasoning to taste and dust lightly with flour.
• Please note: If the tomato slices are to heavily covered with flour the cornmeal will not adhere.
• Dip the slices in the beaten eggs and then coat with cornmeal.
• Fry in hot oil until browned, turning as needed; about 3 minutes on each side.
• To serve, place 3 to 4 slices on a serving plate, top with sauce and garnish with reserved crawfish tails or shrimp. Can sprinkle lightly with chopped parsley if desired.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, stir together mustard, 1/2 cup olive oil, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, horseradish, garlic, lemon juice, onion and 2 teaspoons of green onion. Season with paprika, pepper, cayenne pepper and parsley. Gently stir in the shrimp until evenly distributed. Cover and refrigerate until needed.
• In a shallow bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and egg with a fork. Spread the cornmeal out on a plate. Heat 1/4 cup of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add more if needed to maintain an even coating of oil in the bottom of the skillet.
• Dip the tomato slices in the buttermilk and egg, then dip into the cornmeal to coat thoroughly. Fry slices in the hot oil until golden brown on each side, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and continue breading and frying the remaining tomato slices.
• To serve, arrange salad greens on six plates. Top each one with two slices of fried green tomato, then spoon some of the shrimp remoulade over the tomatoes and sprinkle with the remaining green onion to garnish.

Steps:

• For the tomatoes: Heat the oil in a deep frying pan or cast iron skillet to 350 degrees F. Beat the eggs, milk, and hot sauce in a shallow dish. Put the flour and breadcrumbs in 2 separate shallow dishes. Dip the tomato slices in the flour, then the egg wash, and then the breadcrumbs. Transfer to the oil and fry until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Drain on paper towels and keep warm until ready to serve.
• For the shrimp: Bring the water to a boil and add the crab boil, onions, lemons, and hot sauce. Stir and add the shrimp. Boil until the shrimp turn pink. Peel.
• For the sauce: Combine the mayonnaise, mustard, horseradish, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce.
• To serve: Line a plate with shredded lettuce. Add 2 slices fried green tomatoes. Top each tomato with 1 boiled shrimp. Fill a squeeze bottle with the remoulade sauce and drizzle decoratively.

Steps:

• Make the remoulade: Mix the mustard, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, lemon juice, paprika, white pepper, cayenne and sugar in a large bowl; season with salt. Whisk in the olive oil in a slow stream until blended. Whisk in the celery, parsley, onion, scallion, mayonnaise and hot sauce. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Prepare the shrimp: Bring 2 quarts water to a boil in a large pot. Add 3 tablespoons salt, the lemon slices, hot sauce, bay leaves, carrot and Worcestershire sauce; boil 10 to 15 minutes. Add the shrimp and return to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the shrimp are opaque and just firm, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain the shrimp and run under cold water to stop the cooking. Discard the carrot, lemon slices and bay leaves. Cover the shrimp and refrigerate until cold.
• Fry the tomatoes: Mix the cornmeal, 1/4 teaspoon salt and teaspoon black pepper in a shallow dish. Put the buttermilk in another shallow dish. Heat the vegetable oil in a large deep skillet over medium-high heat. Dip the tomato slices in the buttermilk, then coat with the cornmeal, shaking off the excess. Fry until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes per side.
• Place 2 fried tomato slices on each plate. Top with the shrimp and drizzle with the remoulade.

Steps:

• For the shrimp: Fill a pot with 4 quarts of water; add Old Bay seasoning, hot sauce, lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil, add shrimp and boil 1 to 2 minutes. Drain, rinse and drain again. Transfer to covered container and refrigerate at least 30 minutes.

• Place a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil to come two-thirds up side of pan. Heat oil to about 325 degrees. In a wide bowl, mix corn flour, salt and pepper. Working in batches, remove tomatoes from buttermilk, shaking off excess, and dip in corn flour to coat, shaking off excess. Slip into oil and fry until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes on each side.
