How to cook deliciously - Garlicky Shrimp Zucchini Boats

1. Stage

Preheat oven to 350°. Score zucchini (like you’re dicing an avocado) and scoop out insides with a small spoon, leaving a ¼”-thick border intact. Chop zucchini pulp and set aside.

2. Stage

Place zucchini boats in a large baking dish and drizzle all over with oil. Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle thyme on top. Bake until tender, about 20 minutes.

3. Stage

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add shrimp and season with salt and pepper. Cook until pink and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat, let cool, then chop into bite-size pieces.

4. Stage

Return skillet to medium heat and melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Add reserved zucchini pulp, tomatoes, and garlic, season with salt and pepper, and cook until fragrant, 1 minute more. Add cream, Parmesan, and lemon juice, and cook until slightly reduced, 3 minutes. Remove from heat and fold in cooked shrimp.

5. Stage

Garnish with more Parmesan and parsley, if desired, before serving.
