Step by Step Method
Step 1
Heat the oven to 400 degrees.
Step 2
Clean out insides of each halved zucchini, discard (I usually chop, saute with the other items and toss into filling). Try to leave a narrow, even edge all the way around, making 4 long zucchini canoes.
Step 3
Sprinkle canoes with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Lay in/on a pam'd baking dish, hollow sides up. Set aside.
Step 4
In saute pan heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions, garlic and saute until soft and translucent, 4 to 5 minutes.
Step 5
Add bell pepper, celery and saute for another 4 to 5 minutes,or until soft.
Step 6
Add the tomatoe paste, Cajun seasoning, hot sauce (Tobasco) and Worcestershire continue to cook until the mixture becomes aromatic and begins to darken in color, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Step 7
Stir in sausage, shrimp, chicken and rice. Adjust the seasonings, adding lemon juice as you taste.
Step 8
Scoop mixture into the hollow canoes.
Step 9
Roast uncovered for 20 to 30 minutes, until zucchini is fork tender and heated all the way through.
