I love eggplant and there are not many different ways to cook it. I like the idea of stuffing the shells. I also like all of this seafood. This is certainly a healthy dish and sounds really, really tasty. I'm definitely going to make it. I am not sure about cooking the shrimp for so long though so I think I will use my own discretion on that one.

Cajun-styled eggplant is such an amazing idea! I also recommend adding a little avocado or guacamole to this recipe. Guacamole pairs so well with seafood like shrimp and crab. Is there a picture of the finished product? I bet it looks beautiful!
