Shrimp in Zucchini Boats

This is one of my all time favorite dishes!!  Awsome! 
(Great meal for Fridays during Lent)

2 large zucchini
2 Tablespoons sour cream
2 Tablespoons butter, divided
2 Tablespoons Cheddar cheese, grated
2 Talespoons Swiss cheese, grated
1 green onion, finely sliced
1/8 teaspoon chili powder
1/8 teaspoon paprika
      Salt and pepper, to taste
1 egg yolk, beaten
1 cup fresh shrimp, cooked
   Dry bread crumbs
   Parmesan cheese
 
Halve zucchini lengthwise.   Simmer for several minutes in a small amount of boiling, salted water until barely tender.  Let cool and scoop out centers until only a thin shell is left.  Set shells aside.
 
Saute' zucchini pulp over low heat in 1 tablespoon butter until all moisture evaporates.  Add sour cream, cheeses, onion, spices, and egg yolk; stir until cheese melts and sauce thickens slightly.  Blend in shrimp.  Remove from heat and place in shells.
 
Top with 1 tablespoon butter, cut into small pieces,  Sprinkle with bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese.  Heat at 425 degrees only until top is golden; do not overcook.
