Shrimp Stuffed Eggplant

Preheat Oven: 350 degrees


Ingredients:

• 2 Eggplants, cut in half lengthwise
• 4 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp Olive Oil
• 1 cup Italian Seasoned Bread Crumbs
• 1 lb cooked shrimp (If you use anything bigger than the mini canned shrimp, you're going to want to cut them into manageable pieces)
• 2 Tomatoes, coarsely chopped
• 2 tsp Chives, chopped
• 1/4 cup sliced Black Olives
• grated Swiss Cheese

Directions:

Scoop out Eggplant flesh, leaving 1/2 inch thick shell. Set shells aside on sprayed baking sheet. Chop eggplant flesh and stir into oil in nonstick skillet over medium heat, add garlic. Cover and cook 5-7 minutes.

Stir in Tomatoes, Chives and olives, increase heat to medium-high and simmer 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in shrimp, breadcrumbs and half the cheese. Spoon filling into eggplant shells and sprinkle with remaining cheese.

Bake 35-40 minutes, or until cheese is brown and bubbly.
