Recipe Needed-seafood zucchini-had at a chinese buffet?
It was a creamy dish that had imitation crab in it and the zucchini was cut juliene style. It had melted cheese on the top!
CRAB STUFFED ZUCCHINI
2 medium zucchini
6-1/2 ounce can crabmeat, drained
1 ounce nonfat cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/2 medium tomato, seeded and chopped
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon low-fat mayonnaise
dash liquid smoke
1 cup shredded low-fat mozzarella
nonstick cooking spray
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Discard ends of the zucchini and cut in half lengthwise. Microwave for 3 minutes. Scoop out the pulp, leaving zucchini shells.
Chop the pulp and mix with remaining ingredients; use only 1/2 cup mozzarella.
Place zucchini shells in a baking dish coated with nonstick cooking spray and fill each with crabmeat mixture (it will overflow the shells). Top with the rest of the mozzarella and bake 20–30 minutes, until the mozzarella is lightly browned.
