  • 6 large round, ripe firm tomatoes
  • 3/4 lb 340 g small raw shrimp in the shell
  • 1 tbsp 15 ml red wine vinegar

  • Mayonnaise made as directed, using the yolk of 1 large egg, 1/2 cup (120 ml) vegetable oil, and 2 1/2 to 3 tbsp (40 to 45 ml) freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 tbsp 22.5 ml capers, soaked and rinsed if packed in salt, drained if packed in vinegar
  • 1 tsp 5 ml English or Dijon-style mustard
  • Parsley

Equipment

  • Kitchen Knife

Method
 

  1. Cut off tomato tops. Scoop out seeds and remove some dividing walls, leaving three or four large sections. Do not squeeze the tomatoes. Salt lightly and drain upside down on a platter.
  2. Rinse shrimp. Bring 2 qt (1.9 L) water to a boil with vinegar and 1 tbsp (15 ml) salt. Add shrimp and cook for 1 minute after the water returns to a boil, or longer depending on size. Drain, shell, and devein, then cool completely.
  3. Reserve 6 best-looking shrimp. Chop the rest (not too fine) and mix with mayonnaise, capers, and mustard.
  4. Shake off excess liquid from tomatoes without squeezing. Fill to the top with shrimp mixture. Garnish each tomato with a whole shrimp and 1 or 2 parsley leaves. Serve at room temperature or just slightly chilled.
