Directions: |
Directions:Put mirlitons in large pot and cover with lightly salted water. When water comes to a boil, cover and reduce heat. Cook 20-25 minutes or until mirlitons are tender when pierced with a fork. Drain and cut in half. Using a spoon, remove soft seed and carefully remove pulp, leaving 1/4-inch shell intact. Turn upside down on paper towel to drain. Reserve pulp for later use.
In skillet, melt butter and sauté onion, bell pepper, garlic and celery until tender. Add shrimp and cook over medium-high heat until shrimp are pink. Mash reserved mirliton pulp and add to the shrimp and seasonings. lightly beaten egg. If mixture is too soupy, add dry bread crumbs, but the egg will thicken it as it bakes. Season with salt, black pepper and cayenne.
Spoon dressing into shells. Top each with buttered bread crumbs. Bake in preheated 350ºF oven for 20-30 minutes until hot and dressing looks set. |
