Pam, I'm shook! You'd think that my being from N.O. that I would have known that mirliton seeds were edible. Had no idea! Thanks for the tip. Also, had never heard of shrimp and mirliton soup! Will definitely try both. :)

I'm a NOLA native living in Kansas City and loved every drop of this recipe! I have fond memories of mirlitons during holidays. Now if only I can recreate the spinach and crab soup from Whole Foods from the 90's I will be complete.

Hey Y’all! I’m a cousin on Mike’s side. I’m Faye’s daughter, Millie’s granddaughter. I totally forgot that y’all have this cooking channel! I’m making mirliton and shrimp soup today and was on the internet looking for recipes. That’s how I found your channel! Can’t tell you how happy this made me. I’ll let y’all know how it comes out today.

What’s amazing about mirlitons and really any kind of squash is that it absorbs the flavor of whatever you’re cooking with it.
This soup looks absolutely amazing!
Thank you for sharing ♥️

Mirlitons AKA Chayote, Christophene, Vegetable Pear.
- Most of the mirlitons that we purchase at the grocery are imported from Costa Rica, labeled as Chayote. I grow my own mirliton and stuff them back into the (mirliton) shell with shrimp. Or, you can also do a 'Mirliton Shrimp Casserole.' Thanks for sharing your recipe. :)
