How to cook deliciously - Nat's Shrimp and Veggie Stuffed Zucchini

1. Stage

Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source. Grease a baking sheet.

2. Stage

Cut zucchini in half lengthwise and scoop out seeds and pulp, leaving a thick shell of flesh. Brush both halves of zucchini with 1 tablespoon olive oil and place them cut-side down onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake until zucchini is hot and beginning to release beads of moisture, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove zucchini from the oven.

3. Stage

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

4. Stage

Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Cook and stir garlic and shallot until translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.

5. Stage

Place remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, shrimp, tomato, mushrooms, 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, basil, and cooked garlic and shallot into a bowl, and stir to mix. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Stuff the mixture into zucchini halves, and sprinkle each zucchini with about 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese.

6. Stage

Bake stuffed zucchini in the preheated oven until cheese is browned and filling is cooked through and hot, about 20 minutes.
