Zucchini: you will need 3-4 zucchini depending on the size. I actually used 3 ½ zucchini. Look for zucchini that is short enough to fit into your 9×13 pan.
Shrimp: 1-pound medium shrimp that is uncooked, peeled and deveined. I like to purchase my shrimp at Costco because it comes completely prepared and just ready to thaw and cook – saves tons of time!
Veggies: corn from one ear sweet corn, 1-2 jalapeños, Roma tomato, orange bell pepper. This symphony of veggies keeps the zucchini boats light and fresh with just the right amount of crunch. I though about adding black beans but I didn’t want to distract from the crunchy freshness – I think its perfect in its simplicity, but feel free to customize to suite your tastes.
