Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve alongside the tomato and red onion salad. Keep the melon slices for dessert in the refrigerator until serving time. When ready to serve, arrange them on a serving platter and drizzle them with honey, then squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top. Serve well chilled.
Many seafood markets sell freshly cooked shelled shrimp.
A whole tomato that has been kept in the refrigerator will have a different texture and taste, both less appealing, we think, than the one that has been kept at room temperature. Buy luscious red ripe tomatoes whenever you can during the summer and use them as fast as you can. Do not refrigerate them unless, of course, they have dressing on them or have been combined with other perishable ingredients.
