Ingredients:

4 zucchini (2- to 3-inch diameter)
2 tablespoons butter or margarine

1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly-ground black pepper
1 cup breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons melted butter

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Wash the zucchini and trim off the ends. Cut zucchini in half
lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Be sure to leave some by the
ends to create a boat-like shape.

Saute onions in butter until clear, add tomatoes and simmer until
soft.

In a mixing bowl combine tomato and onion mixture, shrimp, basil,
salt and pepper and half of the bread crumbs. Fill the zucchini
boats with the mixture. Place boats in a greased baking dish.
Sprinkle with remaining breadcrumbs and drizzle with butter. Bake
for 15 minutes or until shrimp are pink and clear.

Yields 8 servings.
