Steps:
- Slice whole eggplant lengthwise. Cut a cross-hatch in the eggplant with a sharp utility knife and brush some olive oil over the eggplant. (See Recipe Notes)
- Place the eggplant, cut side down on a baking rack and place in a preheated 400 degree (F) oven for 30 to 40 minutes or until the eggplant meat is soft.
- Allow the eggplants to cool. Scoop out the pulp, leaving about ¼ inch of the shell-resembling a little boat.
- Chop the scooped-out eggplant and set aside.
- Peel, de-vein and rinse the shrimp, then pat dry with paper towels.
- Chop about ¾ of the shrimp into small pieces, leave the remainder whole.
- Mix with some creole seasoning and set aside.
- Heat butter in a dutch oven over medium-high heat until bubbly.
- Saute the onions, bell peppers and celery in the butter until beginning to caramelize, about 8 to 10 minutes.
- Add the garlic and green onions and saute until aromatic, about 2 minutes.
- Mix in about half of the Herb and Spice Blend and the bay leaves. Saute for about 2 minutes.
- Add in the chopped eggplant; reduce heat to medium, cover the dutch oven and slow simmer about 10 to 15 minutes.
- Add the Worcestershire sauce and the stock, uncover and simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes until the eggplant is very soft and mash-able. (See Recipe Notes)
- Add in the shrimp, mix well and saute until the shrimp start to turn pink, simmer about 5 to 10 minutes.
- Stir in the breadcrumbs, starting with about half and adding more until you have the consistency of a filling.
- Add in the rest of the Herb and Spice Blend, mix well.
- Remove the Dutch oven from the heat, cover and let sit for about 5 minutes.
- Remove the lid and allow the eggplant to cool about 15 minutes before stuffing. Remove bay leaves.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- With a spatula or wooden spoon, stuff the eggplant mixture into the eggplant halves, pushing to fill all the voids.
- Once all the filling has been used, sprinkle some bread crumbs on top and place 2 or 3 small tabs of butter on top of each.
- Place in the 350-degree oven and Bake until browning on top,

RAGIN' CAJUN EGGPLANT AND SHRIMP SKILLET
We always have a large summer garden where lots of produce lingers into fall. That's when we harvest our onion, bell pepper, tomatoes and eggplant, the main ingredient of this dish. This recipe turns Cajun with the Holy Trinity (onion, celery and bell pepper), shrimp and red pepper flakes. -Barbara Hahn, Park Hills, Missouri

- Cut each eggplant it half, cutting through the stem and down its length.
- Cut perpendicular (criss-cross) slices in the flesh of the eggplant to within ¼ inch of the shell.
- Use a spoon to scoop out cubes of eggplant pulp.

SHRIMP-STUFFED EGGPLANT ROLLS
Steps:
- Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
- Peel 2 of the eggplants and cut lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Dice the remaining eggplant and any scraps; soak the diced eggplant in lightly-salted, cold water. Sprinkle the eggplant slices with salt and set aside as you prepare the remaining ingredients.
- Pour 3/4 cup of seasoned breadcrumbs into a bowl; set aside. Stir together the flour, 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon minced onion, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, and 1/2 teaspoon basil in a bowl; set aside. Beat the egg with 2 tablespoons of water in a separate bowl. Rinse the salt off of the eggplant slices and wipe off excess water. Coat the eggplant slices in the flour mixture, dip into the egg, and press into the bread crumbs. Place the eggplant slices onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the eggplant slices are golden brown and tender, about 10 minutes. Turn once as they cook to brown both sides; set aside and allow to cool until you can easily handle.
- Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in 1 chopped onion and 1 1/2 tablespoons minced garlic; cook and stir until the onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the whole jumbo shrimp and cook until pink and no longer translucent in the center, about 5 minutes. Remove the shrimp and set aside. Stir the diced shrimp into the skillet and cook until no longer translucent. Season with 1 pinch garlic powder, 1 pinch onion powder, 1 teaspoon basil, red pepper flakes, and the white wine. Drain the water from the diced eggplant and squeeze out the excess water. Stir the eggplant into the shrimp mixture and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium, cover, and cook until the eggplant is soft, about 10 minutes; stir in the mozzarella cheese and 1/2 cup of bread crumbs until the cheese has melted.
- To assemble, place one jumbo shrimp onto the center of each eggplant slice. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the stuffing over each jumbo shrimp. Fold the ends of the eggplant over the stuffing and secure with toothpicks. Place the eggplant rolls onto the baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the eggplant rolls are hot in the center, about 5 minutes. Remove the toothpicks before serving.

- Start by making the filling for the eggplant. Place the shrimp in a food processor along with the ground pork, salt, sugar, white pepper, sesame oil, 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, and rice wine. Process until a rough paste forms. Transfer to a bowl, and stir in the egg, cornstarch, and half of the chopped scallions. Set the mixture aside in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Cut each eggplant into 1 1/2-inches thick slices on the diagonal. Take each slice and carefully slice through the middle, but don’t cut all the way through. The pieces should still be attached on one side. This will help keep both halves of the eggplant together.
- Fill the middle of each eggplant slice with the shrimp and pork filling. Once all the slices are stuffed, heat a tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, and fry the slices on both sides until golden. Add a little more oil whenever the pan starts to look a little dry (you’ll only need a tablespoon at a time).
- Remove from the pan and place on a heatproof plate for steaming. Prepare your steamer with 2-3 cups water (you can also use a wok with a steaming rack placed in the bottom). Heat until the water is simmering. Turn off the heat, carefully place the plate in the steamer. Cover the steamer and turn the heat back on to medium-high. Steam for 7-10 minutes. The eggplant should be very soft. Nothing worse than an under-cooked eggplant!
