Tomatoes Stuffed with Shrimp image

This is one of my favorite spring and summer recipes. I love tomatoes and I love shrimp. I've made these on a baking sheet and put the baking sheet on the grill outside for a few minutes until they were done. They get a bit a smoky flavor that's very good.

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 large tomatoes
salt and pepper
1 Tbsp butter
1 small onion, minced
1 c cooked or canned small popcorn shrimp
1/4 c bread crumbs
1 Tbsp parsley or 1/8 teaspoon basil
2 Tbsp shredded parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • 2. Slice the top end off the tomatoes. Scoop out the insides of the tomatoes (but don't make the walls of the tomato too thin), sprinkle with a little salt and turn upside down to drain.
  • 3. In skillet, heat butter, add onion and sauté until tender. Add the shrimp, crumbs, parsley and salt and pepper to taste. The shrimp should only take a minute or two to saute.
  • 4. Stuff the tomatoes with the mixture and top with Parmesan cheese.
  • 5. Bake 15-20 minutes and serve before your meal as a first course or with your meal as a side dish.
