Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Halve mirlitons lengthwise. Cook them until just tender, 15 to 20 minutes, in a large pot of boiling salted water. Remove seed and discard. Carefully scoop out the flesh with a spoon, preserving the shell. Coarsely chop the flesh.
Measure out and melt 2 tablespoons of the butter. Set aside.
In a large skillet, melt remaining butter. Add onion and cook until translucent, 8 to 10 minutes. Add mirliton and toss to coat. Stir in shrimp and cook until just pink, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in crab meat, scallions, ¼ cup of the bread crumbs and the ham. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Place the shells on a baking sheet and fill with the stuffing. Sprinkle with the remaining bread crumbs and drizzle with reserved butter. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until heated through.
