Step 1
In a medium bowl, toss tomatoes with 1 tbsp (15 mL) of the oil, dill, and salt and pepper to taste. Place skin side down on baking sheet. Roast in preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until skins are slightly seared and tomatoes are soft and hot. Set aside and keep warm.

Tips

If you like your shrimp spicy, add a pinch of cayenne to the cornmeal.
