GRILLED SHRIMP PO' BOY WITH PICKLED GREEN TOMATOES

Steps:

• For the quick pickled green tomatoes: Combine the vinegar, sugar, pickling spices and 1 cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and cook until the sugar dissolves, about 3 minutes. Keep warm.
• Place the tomatoes in a 1-quart sterilized glass jar. Pour the vinegar mixture over the tomatoes and seal the lid. Refrigerate until ready to serve. (These can be enjoyed right away but are best refrigerated overnight.)
• For the spicy lemon-dill aioli: Stir together the mayonnaise, onion, House Seasoning, dill, lemon zest and juice, hot sauce and sugar in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• For the grilled shrimp: Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
• Sprinkle the shrimp with the House Seasoning. Grill until the shrimp are cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes on each side.
• To serve, spread the desired amount of spicy lemon-dill aioli on the rolls. Top evenly with the grilled shrimp, shredded lettuce and coarsely chopped pickled green tomatoes.
• Stir together all the garlic and onion powder, paprika, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.

PICKLED SHRIMP AND FRIED TOMATOES

Steps:

• For the pickled shrimp: Stir together the red onions, jalapeno and dill pickle juice.
• Bring a large saucepot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the shrimp and cook until pink and just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Strain well and toss to coat in the pickle juice mixture.
• For the dill pickle dressing: Stir together the diced pickles, pickle juice and sour cream in a small mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper. For the fried tomatoes: Fill a large cast-iron pan with 1/2 inch of canola oil and set over medium-high heat. The oil is hot enough when you dip in a wooden spoon and small bubbles form around it.
• Place the eggs and cornmeal into separate shallow dishes. Sprinkle the eggs, cornmeal and sliced tomatoes with salt and pepper. In batches, dip both sides of the tomatoes in the eggs, and then dredge in the cornmeal. Shake off any excess coating. Fry the dredged tomatoes in the hot oil until golden brown on both sides, 3 to 4 minutes total. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried tomatoes to a paper towel-lined baking sheet or large plate. Repeat until all of the tomatoes have been dredged and fried.
• To assemble, divide the fried tomatoes among 4 large plates. Use a slotted spoon to remove the shrimp from the pickle juice liquid and place on the side of the tomatoes. Drizzle both the tomatoes and the shrimp with the dill pickle dressing.
