Ingredients
- 1 medium spaghetti squash about 2 lbs.
- 1 ½ lb peeled shrimp
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ¼ teaspoon each: salt and pepper
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- ½ cup white wine or chicken stock
- ¼ cup fresh lemon juice from 1 lemon
- 2 ounces baby spinach
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Cut the spaghetti squash into rounds 1 1/2 inches thick and place them on a baking tray. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the flesh can be easily pierced with a fork, turning over halfway through. Let them cool slightly then cut each round once and pull the strands away from the skin to make long spaghetti-like noodles.
- While the spaghetti squash bakes, prepare the shrimp. Place the shrimp in a bowl and toss with the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Melt the butter in a large pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the shrimp and cook for 2 minutes, or until they just start to look pink.
- Add the wine or chicken stock and the lemon juice to the pan and bring to a simmer. Add the spinach and let it wilt. Serve the shrimp and sauce over the spaghetti squash noodles.
