Ingredients

4 yellow summer squash, cleaned, cut in half lengthwise

1 & 1/2 cups quality cooked crab meat, pick out any shell

2 cups finely torn fresh bread crumbs

1/2 cup finely diced celery

1/2 cup finely diced onion

small carrot,shredded

1 t dried parsley

salt/pepper to taste

2 T butter

1/2 cup low sodium chicken broth

old bay seasoning, 1/4 t - OPTIONAL

Directions

Clean squash, cutting in half length-wise and scoop out insides - reserve. Cut on rounded side so that squash halves will not roll over in baking dish. Cook halves on plate in microwave for about 4 minutes - to help speed up cooking later!

Sautee celery, onion, scooped squash, and shredded carot in butter until tender and let cool.

In bowl, combine cooked vegetables, bread crumbs and lightly toss together.

Add parsley and salt/pepper to taste.

Add crab meat - and combine lightly. Try not to break up larger pieces too much.

Add just enough chicken broth to moisten mixture.

Spoon mixture into squash halves and place into lightly oiled baking dish. Add a little chicken broth to bottom of pan to keep squash bottoms from drying out.

Dot with additional butter (OPTIONAL)

Sprinkle with old bay (OPTIONAL)

Bake at 350 until golden brown/crispy on top and squash pierces easily with tip of knife - about 20-30 minutes.

Other variations - you can add roasted bell pepper, substitute cooked shrimp for crabmeat or chicken - anything goes!
