Recipe View 20 mins Bake stuffed zucchini in the preheated oven until cheese is browned and filling is cooked through and hot, about 20 minutes.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the shrimp mixture.
To prevent the zucchini from becoming too watery, sprinkle the inside with a little salt after scooping out the pulp and let it sit for about 15 minutes before stuffing.
Feel free to experiment with different vegetables in the filling, such as bell peppers, onions, or spinach.
If you don't have fresh basil, dried basil can be used as a substitute, but use about half the amount since dried herbs are more potent.

    I found that broiling the zucchini for a few minutes at the end helped to brown the cheese nicely.
