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.

How To Make tomatoes stuffed with shrimp

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Step 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.
Step 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.
Step 4

Stuff the tomatoes with the mixture and top with Parmesan cheese.
Step 5

Bake 15-20 minutes and serve before your meal as a first course or with your meal as a side dish.
