Shrimp and Feta Stuffed Zucchini

Ingredients

2 T. extra virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
1 large Vidalia onion, finely chopped
1 red bell pepper, finely chopped
2 T. minced garlic
4 ripe plum tomatoes, chopped
1 t. crushed red pepper flakes
Salt and black pepper, to taste
¾-1 lb. peeled, deveined large shrimp, finely chopped
3 T. chopped parsley
3 T. chopped dill
6 small round or oblong zucchini, halved lengthwise
1 ½ c. crumbled feta

Instructions

Preheat oven 425. In skillet, heat 2 T. olive oil. Add onion, bell pepper and garlic, sauté until tender, about 5 minutes.
Add tomatoes and crushed red pepper and cook, mashing until thickened, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper. Remove from heat and cool slightly. Stir in shrimp, parsley and dill.
Using a spoon, scoop out flesh of zucchini, leaving ¼” shell around. Rub with oil and season shells with salt and pepper. Stuff shells.
Transfer to lightly oiled roasting pan and roast for 30 minutes, until filling is cooked through and zucchini is tender.
Preheat broiler and put rack 6” from heat. Top with feta and broil 5 minutes until cheese is melted and golden. Serve hot or at room temperature.

Notes

*****I happen to find the round zucchini and tried them. You can also substitute other squash or anything suitable for stuffing and baking.
