Brazilian pumpkin-shrimp-cream cheese yumminess

Nicole's labmate gave her this recipe, she's Brazilian (yes, blonde and thin and beautiful)... although i cannot image that she can stay that way for much longer, if this is her favorite dish:

1 sugar pumpkin (medium size)
1 block of cream cheese
shrimp. some.
evaporated milk (unsweetened) 1 12oz can
2 yellow onions
4 tomatoes
lots of garlic

bake the pumpkin in 400 degree oven for 45 min till soft with fork (take out the seeds first and toast them with salt and olive oil for a delicious snack)

mean while, sautee chopped garlic and onion in pan with olive oil till transluscent. season with salt and pepper and cayenne pepper.
add in shrimp and tomatoes and evaporated milk. cook together until tomatoes start melting into the sauce.

take pumpkin out of oven and let cool a bit. smear the inside with a layer of cream cheese. dump in the shrimp/onion/tomato sauce.
serve.
