INSTRUCTIONS
Boil chayotes in salted water to cover until tender but firm, about 6 to 10
minutes. Remove, set upside down to cool, then scoop out the insides,
leaving a shell 1/3 inch thick. Pat dry and place the shells in a 13x9 inch
baking dish. Chop the pulp. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Saute shrimp
in oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat until shrimp are bright
pink. Remove shrimp with slotted spoon, let cool, and finely chop. Add the
squash pulp to the same plan along with the scallion, garlic, red pepper,
parsley, ham, thyme, and peppers. Cook over medium-high heat until no
liquid remains and everything is dry, about 4 minutes. Stir in the shrimp.
Divide the filling among the 6 squash shells and sprinkle each one with
breadcrumbs. Bake until heated through and browned on top, about 35
minutes.
