- 4-5 fresh tomatoes ripe but firm, such as Roma or beefsteak
- 24 small cooked shrimp already cleaned
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise store-bought or homemade
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- Fresh herbs such as dill or parsley, finely chopped
Cut the tomatoes into wedges. I get about 3 wedges out of a roma tomato. Remove the seeds and insides.
Mix the mayonnaise, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard together and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
When ready to serve, place the tomato wedges on a platter.
Add a spoonful of sauce to each wedge. Top with 2 shrimps.
Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with some chopped fresh herbs.
- If the tomatoes are especially juicy, dry them with a paper towel before adding the sauce so it doesn't run.
