I have a new favorite meal and I couldn't wait to share it with you! We love to eat spaghetti squash (and I actually like it better than regular spaghetti noodles) so I use it as a pasta substitute in a lot of recipes. Adding lemon, garlic, and shrimp to it just put it over the top. The best part is that this recipe is so quick and easy to throw together. When Circulon sent over some fun new pans to try (We will be giving away a set for you or it would be perfect for a bride-to-be!!! so stay tuned) I knew that this was the recipe I wanted to make to test them out.
Zap the spaghetti squash (whole) in the microwave for 3 minutes. Cut in half lengthwise and place on a baking sheet. drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with herbs, salt and pepper. Bake in oven according to directions below.
In a French Skillet, heat butter and garlic until melted. Sauté garlic on medium heat for 2 minutes. Add shrimp, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper to taste. Cook for about 5 minutes or until shrimp is cooked through. Remove from heat. The circle surface on this skillet and the baking sheet really made the food cook so nice and evenly.
Remove from heat once shrimp is cooked through.
Add spaghetti squash and toss.
Garnish with toppings and enjoy! I could eat this whole platter, it is so delicious!
