Ingredients
- 2 zucchini, cut in half lengthwise
- 1 cup shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tbsp heavy cream
- 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 tomato, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Use a spoon to carefully scoop out the flesh from each zucchini half, leaving a hollow "boat."
- In a skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add minced garlic, and chopped tomato. Sauté for a few minutes until the zucchini is tender and the tomato starts to soften.
- Add the shrimp and cook until they turn pink and are cooked through. Decrease the heat to low.
- Stir in the heavy cream, grated Parmesan, and dried oregano. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.
- Place the zucchini halves in a baking dish. Divide the shrimp and zucchini mixture evenly among the zucchini boats, pressing it down gently. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender.
- Once cooked, top each zucchini boat with shredded mozzarella cheese and bake for additional 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted. Remove from the oven and garnish the stuffed zucchini boats with freshly chopped parsley. Enjoy!
