3 tablespoons minced parsley

Slice about a third off the top of each tomato. Carefully scoop out the seeds and a little of the pulp with a very small spoon or melon scoop. Stuff the tomatoes with the shrimp mixture, mounding slightly. Chill. Makes 48 hors d’oeuvres.

---Variation---

Add 2 tablespoons of finely chopped pine nuts to the lemon and olive oil version for a pesto flavor.
