Georgia Magazine - July 2017 - 36D

Along the Georgia coast, cooks
have long known that fresh tomatoes, inlet shrimp and blue crabs are
made for one another. In this recipe,
the seafood makes a savory stuffing
for the tomatoes. It's a perfect luncheon or supper main dish, and it
makes an elegant first course for formal dinners.

Seafood-Stuffed Tomatoes
4 medium tomatoes
Salt
3 quarts water
1/2 pound (headless weight) small shrimp
1/2 pound (1 packed cup) picked crabmeat
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup minced yellow onion (about
1/2 medium onion)
2 large (or 3 medium) cloves garlic, lightly
crushed, peeled, minced
1 rounded tablespoon chopped parsley
1 rounded tablespoon chopped fresh basil
1 cup coarsely crushed cracker crumbs
Freshly ground black pepper
Ground cayenne pepper

Whole nutmeg
1/4 cup fine cracker crumbs

Cut 1/4-inch from the stem end
of the tomatoes, scoop out and discard the seeds, then carefully scoop
out the inner pulp with a sharp spoon
or melon baller, leaving the outer
wall of each tomato intact. Roughly
chop the pulp and set it aside. Lightly
salt the shells and invert them over a
colander.
Bring water to a boil. Add a large
pinch of salt and shrimp. Cover, cook
for 1 minute and immediately drain
shrimp. Rinse them under cold running water and peel. If they're not
very small, cut them into 2 or 3 pieces. Pick over the crabmeat for bits of
shell.
Heat 2 tablespoons butter and
onion in a sauté pan over medium
heat. Sauté, tossing, until onion is
translucent, about 4 minutes. Add
garlic and sauté until fragrant, about
30 seconds more. Add chopped tomato pulp and cook until it begins
to break down and its juices thicken,

about 4 minutes. Add parsley, basil and coarse cracker crumbs; toss
well. Take off the heat and add crab
and shrimp; toss until evenly mixed.
Season well with salt, black pepper,
cayenne and nutmeg grated with a
microplane.
Position a rack in the center
of the oven. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Butter a 9-inch, square casserole. Wipe the inside of the tomato
shells dry and put them in the dish,
open-side-up. Divide the filling
among them.
Wipe out the pan in which the
onion and tomato pulp were cooked,
and add the remaining butter. Melt it
over low heat and add the fine cracker crumbs. Toss until evenly mixed
and sprinkle them over the tops of tomatoes. Carefully pour boiling water
around tomatoes until it comes less
than halfway up the sides of the tomatoes. Bake until the tomato shells
are barely cooked and the filling is
hot throughout, about 20 minutes.
Serves 4.
