1/4 cup chopped onion
1 10 3/4 ounce can cream of chicken soup

That does look like a good one. I do one very similar but use crumbled Ritz crackers instead of the stuffing and I grate about a cup of sharp cheddar and sprinkle it on top. Some restaraunts call it Country Club Sqaush.

I previously topped it with grated pepper jack cheese after cooking it as above, then put back in the oven until the cheese melted. However, my favorite lady dosn't care for cheese, so.....................to keep piece, I mean peace, I dropped the cheese option.

Seafood Stuffed Mirliton

I first ran across the Mirliton in Louisiana at least that is the first place I ever ate one. You may know them by one of their other names, chayote squash, alligator pear or vegetable pear and the French call them a christophene but no matter what they are called they are a member of the squash family and are good.

INGREDIENTS:
6 mirlitons, sliced lengthwise
1 pound lump crabmeat
1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 cup diced onions
1 cup diced celery
½ cup diced red bell peppers
¼ cup minced garlic
¼ pound butter
salt and black pepper to taste
hot sauce to taste
¼ cup chopped parsley
2 cups Italian bread crumbs
1 stick of butter cut into 12 pieces

DIRECTIONS:
Preheat your oven to 375°F. Boil sliced mirlitons in lightly-salted water 30–40 minutes or until meat is tender enough to scoop from shells. Once tender, remove from water and cool. Using a teaspoon, remove seeds and gently scoop all meat out of shell, being careful not to tear shell. Discard excess liquid accumulated while scooping meat. Reserve meat and save shells for stuffing. In a skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Sauté onions, celery, bell peppers and garlic or until vegetables are wilted (@ 3-5 min). Blend in shrimp and cook 2–3 minutes or until pink and curled. (I like to use small shrimp, salad size or if using medium shrimp I will chop them up a bit) Mix in reserved meat from mirlitons and chop large pieces while cooking. Cook 15–20 minutes, stirring until flavors develop. After most of liquid has evaporated, remove from heat and season with salt, pepper, hot sauce and parsley. Fold in crabmeat, being careful to not break lumps. Sprinkle in approximately 1½ cups of bread crumbs to absorb any excess liquid and to hold stuffing intact. Divide mixture into 12 equal portions and stuff into hollowed-out shells. Place stuffed mirlitons on baking pan and sprinkle with remaining bread crumbs. Top each mirliton with 1 pat of butter. Bake 30 minutes or until golden brown. Serve 1 mirliton half as a vegetable or 2 halves as a main dish. There ain't nothing wrong with putting some cheese on top in the last 10 minutes of baking.

1/4 tsp black pepper
1/8 cup minced garlic
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp red pepper (powder)
1/2 lb fresh shrimp, chopped
1/2 cup crabmeat chopped

DIRECTIONS:

Peel mirliton and chop. Heat 1/3 cup vegetable oil in sauce pan on medium flame. Add 1/2 cup onion and saute for 2 minutes. Add chopped mirliton. Cook for 20 minutes. Drain liquid and set aside.

Dressing Mix and Seafood Preparation:

Continue cooking until meat is no longer pink. Add red pepper (powder), salt and black pepper. Add chopped crabmeat and chopped shrimp.

I made this yesterday with an oven roasted chicken and the dish was scraped clean. Very good.
