🇧🇪 Belgium recipe
Tomaat-Garnaal
Tomate-crevettes, or tomaat-garnaal in Flemish, is the quintessential Belgian summer dish. A ripe, round tomato is hollowed out and filled generously with tiny hand-peeled grey North Sea shrimp dressed in a light Marie Rose sauce. It is simplicity itself, but the quality of the ingredients makes it extraordinary. This dish appears on every Belgian brasserie menu the moment warm weather arrives.
