Ingredients:

  1. 4 - large zucchini halved lengthwise
  2. 1 tablespoons - extra-virgin olive oil
  3. 1 teaspoons - thyme leaves
  4. 2 tablespoons - butter
  5. 3/4 pounds - large shrimp peeled and deveined
  6. 2 - tomatoes chopped
  7. 3 cloves - garlic minced
  8. 1/4 cups - heavy cream
  9. 1/4 cups - grated Parmesan
  10. - juice of 1/2 lemon
  11. 1 cups - shredded mozzarella
  12. - freshly chopped parsley for garnish, optional

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Score zucchini (like you're dicing an avocado) and scoop out insides to use later. Place zucchini boats in a large baking dish and drizzle all over with oil. Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle thyme leaves on top. Bake until tender, about 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, 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 and when cool enough to handle, chop into bite-size pieces. Return shrimp to skillet and then stir in reserved zucchini, tomatoes and garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute more.

Add cream, Parmesan and lemon juice and cook until slightly reduced, about 3 minutes.

Fill zucchini boats with shrimp mixture and top with mozzarella. Cook until cheese is bubbly, about 10 minutes more.

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