Time 55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 large zucchini, trimmed and halved lengthwise
1 cup Italian-seasoned bread crumbs
1 ½ tablespoons dried parsley
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 pound imitation crabmeat
2 ½ teaspoons lemon juice
½ teaspoon ground mustard
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir until onion is soft but not browned, about 5 minutes.
  • Scoop flesh from the zucchini halves using a spoon, leaving a 1/4-inch layer intact. Chop zucchini flesh and stir into the skillet. Cook until soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in bread crumbs, parsley, salt, and pepper. Reduce heat to low.
  • Flake crabmeat into the skillet, leaving some larger chunks. Add lemon juice and ground mustard. Cook until crabmeat is heated through, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Divide crabmeat mixture evenly among the zucchini halves. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until zucchini is soft, 20 to 30 minutes.

I'm allergic to crab, so I used shrimp in the filling instead. It turned out great! The shrimp was cooked perfectly and the filling was still very flavorful.

These zucchini boats are a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids love the crabmeat filling and they don't even notice the zucchini.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a hit. The crabmeat filling is so creamy and delicious. I like to use a variety of cheeses in the filling, such as Parmesan, cheddar, and mozzarella.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover crabmeat. I had some leftover from a crab boil and I wasn't sure what to do with it. I found this recipe and it was perfect. The zucchini boats were easy to make and they were delicious.

These crabmeat-stuffed zucchini boats were a hit with my family! The zucchini were tender and flavorful, and the crabmeat filling was rich and creamy. I especially loved the crispy breadcrumb topping. I'll definitely be making this dish again soon.
