Garlic Parmesan Shrimp Stuffed Eggplant Boats are a delicious and elegant dish that combines juicy shrimp, creamy sauce, and roasted eggplant topped with melted cheese.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium eggplants, halved lengthwise
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • ½ cup parmesan cheese, grated
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the eggplants in half lengthwise and lightly score the flesh. Brush with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 25–30 minutes until tender.
  2. Season the shrimp with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet. Cook shrimp 1–2 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, sauté garlic. Add cream cheese, heavy cream, Italian seasoning, and half of the parmesan. Stir until smooth. Fold in shrimp.
  4. Remove eggplants from oven. Press centers slightly. Fill with shrimp mixture. Top with mozzarella and remaining parmesan.
  5. Bake for 12–15 minutes until melted and bubbly. Broil for 1–2 minutes for a golden top.
  6. Sprinkle with parsley and serve hot.

Notes

  • Do not overcook shrimp before baking.
  • Use freshly grated parmesan for best flavor.
  • Replace part of cream cheese with Greek yogurt for a healthier option.
  • Serve with a salad or steamed vegetables.
  • Verify packaged ingredients for gluten-free options.
