Crab Stuffed Eggplant Royal

The eggplants keep coming from the CSA quicker than I can use them. I went back to the drawing board today for another option. I had previously had a seafood stuffed eggplant in New Orleans and that is where the Google search inspiration started at. I seemed to remember the original having the whole eggplant breaded but I can't exactly remember. Anyways this one turned out quite delicious- crab and shrimp and you can't go wrong. I changed a few things from the actual recipe. I have decided I like to bake the eggplant first as opposed to boiling them and there was no cheese involved. No cheese really!! You are going to stuff something and not put cheese in the stuffing. That just seems wrong. I had some left over Italian blend of shredded cheese which went into the stuffing and then a little parmesan on top. Overall it was pretty good although Chris was still a bigger fan of the sausage stuffed eggplant.
