Step 1

Cut the zucchini in half lengthwise, then scrape off the middle part, and set it aside. Place a pan on a stove over medium heat, then add some olive oil, and once hot, saute the onion until translucent. Add the zucchini pulp, cherry tomatoes, shrimp, breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, chives, salt, and pepper, then stir them until well mixed, and cook them for a few minutes before turning off the heat.

Step 2

Fill the zucchini shells with the prepared filling, then transfer them to a baking tray lined with parchment paper, and sprinkle the breadcrumbs on top. Drizzle them with olive oil, then place them in the preheated oven, and let them bake at 350°F for about 20 minutes. Serve and enjoy!
