Step 1

Remove tips and strings from pea pods. Heat 1 inch water (salted if desired) to boiling. Add pea pods; heat to boiling. Boil uncovered 2 to 3 minutes or until crisp-tender; drain.
Rinse in cold water; drain.
Mix pea pods, tuna, rice, mayonnaise, bouillon granules and ginger. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours.
Cut cantaloupe lengthwise in half; remove seeds. (For decorative edge on shells, cut a saw-toothed or scalloped design.)
Cut think slice from bottom of each cantaloupe half to prevent tipping if necessary.
