Ingredients

  • 4 large bell peppers

  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Notes

  • Add chopped veggies like spinach or tomatoes for extra nutrition.
  • For spice, mix in red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce.
  • Swap Parmesan with mozzarella or feta for a flavor twist.
  • Use scallops or crab meat instead of shrimp for variation.
  • For low-carb, omit breadcrumbs and add more cheese or veggies.
