INGREDIENTS

4 large zucchini, halved lengthwise

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon thyme leaves

2 tablespoons butter

3/4 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined

2 tomatoes, chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 cup heavy cream

1/4 cup grated Parmesan

Juice of 1/2 lemon

1 cup shredded mozzarella

Freshly chopped parsley, for garnish (optional)

How to make Garlicky Shrimp Zucchini Boats

Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 350 degrees.

Step 2: Score the zucchini like you are dicing an avocado, then scoop the insides out for later.

Step 3: In a large baking dish, place the zucchini boats, drizzle over with oil, and season with salt and pepper. On top, sprinkle the thyme leaves.

Step 4: Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes.

Step 5: Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the butter has melted, add the shrimp to the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook the shrimp for about 3 to 4 minutes until cooked through.

Step 6: Chop the cooked, cooled shrimp into bite-size pieces, then add back to the skillet.

Step 7: Add the reserved zucchini, tomatoes, and garlic to the skillet. Stir and cook for another minute until aromatic.

Step 8: Add in the cream, Parmesan, and lemon juice, then cook for 3 minutes more until a bit reduced.

Step 9: With the shrimp mixture, fill the zucchini boats and top with mozzarella. Cook for 10 minutes more until the cheese is bubbly.

Step 10: If desired, garnish with extra Parmesan and parsley.

Step 11: Serve and enjoy!
