Shrimp Stuffed Eggplant (Aubergine) image

From the First Coast News website. I had farmer's market eggplants to use and didn't want to go to the store. I just happened to have everything this recipe needed on hand (and usually do) so I tried it. My boyfriend had a late meeting and I told him I'd throw something together so he didn't have to eat fast food. He was pleasantly surprised with this 'thrown together' meal!

I'm not a big fan of eggplant, but I loved this recipe. The shrimp stuffing was so good that it made me forget all about the eggplant.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but other than that it was great.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it more if I had added more spices to the stuffing.
