How to make it
- 1) Preheat oven to 350 deg
- 2) Detail, devien and clean shrimp tails if not already done. Clean mushrooms, peel garlic, and separate stem from pepper
- 3) Place squash in baking dish. Roast for 35 minutes
- 4) While squash is baking, process the mushrooms, 4 garlic cloves, onion, chili pepper, and half the crackers together. Set aside UP TO 1/4 cup of this mixture for the sauce.
- 5) Process 14 shrimp and the rest of the crackers together. (I like to add some crackers to the shrimp because it makes easier to remove from the processor)
- 6) Mix the mushroom mix with the shrimp mix, add a pinch of salt and pepper.
- 7) Remove squash from oven and plunge into bowl of ice water. Remove the stem-cap. Core, and de-seed. Like hollowing out a pumpkin, but be sure to leave squash meat inside, about the top-knuckle of your thumb's worth.
- 8) Spoon stuffing into squash hole, place back in oven for 20 minutes.
- You can cut the stuffed squash in half for 4 servings before or after baking stuffed. Just cut before you plate and sauce
- ***Enjoy with sauce and salad!***
- ***Sauce directions***

- 5) Add milk and stir.
- 6) Add curry powder, stir.
- 7) Add remaining shrimp and GENTLY stir until sauce reaches desired thickness.
