I love experimenting with new textures, flavors, and ingredients. This easy Shrimp Stuffed Eggplant Recipe is so easy to make, exciting and tasty. It’s one of those dishes that fills you up without weighing you down.

A few months ago I made a fish with Caponata sauce inspired by Mediterranean flavors. This Shrimp Stuffed Eggplant Recipe is a play on that dish. The flavor of roasted eggplant and tomato along with the olives and capers is amazing.

I used these cute mini eggplants I found in the supermarket the other day, but you can certainly use the big eggplants to serve a crowd. The mini ones roast faster and they are perfect to serve individually.

If you’re not a fan of shrimp, you can simply omit them or simply swap them out for another protein like beans, ground beef, turkey or even scallops.  They are delicious vegetarian or even vegan.

When I told my husband the idea to make this Shrimp Stuffed Eggplant Recipe he said: “hmm that sounds delicious but make sure the shrimp to eggplant ratio is correct, I don’t want to stick my fork down and fish for the hidden shrimp”.

He had a great point, so I packed every roasted eggplant with tons of shrimp, so every bite you take will have tons of meat and veggies.

If you’re entertaining guests, you can easily make this recipe in 30-40 minutes (depending on the size of the eggplant) without breaking a sweat. It’s something different and original.
