Squash Cup Heaven

I LOVE these squash cups.  Here is how you make them:


  • 1 pound(s) of Shrimp (cleaned/ deveined)
  • 1 cup(s) of Bread Crumbs
  • 1/2 cup(s) of PHILADELPHIA RED PEPPER CREAM CHEESE
  • 1 cup(s) of Asiago Cheese
  • 4 Green Onion (chopped)
  • 1/2 cup(s) of Butter
  • 100 g Prosciutto (chopped)
  • 2 Cloves of Garlic (minced or pressed)
  • 1 pinch of Paprika
  • 3 Squash (butternut and buttercup preferred)
  • 1 large Onion
Steps
  1. Slice the squash in half and remove seeds. Add sliced squash, face down in a shallow cooking dish with 1 inch of water and bake at 400 degrees for 10 to 15 minutes (until soft)
  2. Drain water from baking dish. Scoop cooked squash out of shells and place in a  bowl and set aside. Keep the shells intact and reserve for later.
  3. Chop the cooking onions, green onions, shrimp and prosciutto and set each     aside.
  4. Melt butter in large pot over medium heat.
  5. Add in cooking onion and prosciutto and cook for approx 2 - 3 minutes.
  6. Add garlic, shrimp, squash, green onions, asiago cheese and PHILADELPHIA RED PEPPER CREAM CHEESE and 3/4 of a cup of bread crumbs (reserve the remainder   of bread crumbs for later). Cook 10 - 15 minutes (stirring often)
  7. Once the mixture is cooked, spoon mixture into squash shells.
  8. Top mixture with remaining bread crumbs and sprinkle with paprika.
  9. Bake shells on a tin sheet for approx 10 - 15 minutes (until brown) at 375      degrees.
  10. NOTE: If mixture in shells are not brown (to your liking) then broil for approx           1 - 2 minutes.
  11. Salt & pepper to taste
  12. Enjoy!
