Step by Step guide

Step 1

Peel the zucchini, removing the skin in long strips. Cut each into 3 parts and scoop out some of the flesh to create something like cups. Place them in a steamer for 10 minutes.

Step 2

Grease a baking dish with butter. Melt the remaining butter in a skillet, add finely chopped shallots, and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring. Then add the wine and cook for another 5 minutes. Add the shrimp and three sprigs of tarragon, season with salt and pepper, and cook for a few more minutes until the shrimp turn opaque. Remove them from the skillet and keep warm.

Step 3

In the same skillet where the shrimp were cooked, add the mustard and cream, mix, and let it sit for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, finely chop the remaining tarragon.

Step 4

Place the zucchini in the prepared dish and bake for 10 minutes at 356°F. Then add the shrimp to the cream sauce, remove the tarragon sprigs, and sprinkle with fresh tarragon. Stuff the zucchini with shrimp and drizzle with the sauce.
