Excellent- DH especially loved the sauce. Had four small tomatoes to use. The sauce goes great with the shrimp. I started the tomatoes on low and had to turn it up as the breading stuck to the pan.

This was really good, I've kept forgetting to review this for quite some time now. The only change I made was to coat it in flour, then egg, then cornmeal, as it help the coating to adhere better. Looking forward to making this again!

I was looking for something different to do with shrimp, and this was it! I would give it five stars, but (surprisingly) DH gives it three---hence the four stars. Something about the combo in the remoulade sauce that he didn't like---although he likes all the ingreds otherwise. Go figure. Anyway, I loved it all. Really spicy but great. And it was really easy to make the sauce and boil the shrimp early in the day, then just fry the green tomatoes and plate. I've got sauce left over, too. Thanks for sharing.
