Shrimp Alfredo Spaghetti Squash Recipes

CREAMY SPAGHETTI SQUASH WITH SHRIMP

Steps:

• Cut the squash in half lengthwise with a sharp knife and remove the seeds with a spoon. Brush the flesh of each half with 1 teaspoon of the oil and season with salt and pepper. Put the halves flesh-side down on a baking sheet and bake at 400F until the edges just turn brown, about 45 minutes.
• Once baked, let it cool down a bit, and separate the strands of squash by scraping the flesh with a fork. Transfer the scraped strands to a large bowl.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the butter, shrimp, salt, and pepper, and cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until the shrimp reaches the desired doneness. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set it aside.
• Reduce the heat to medium. To the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute.
• Then add the veggie broth and cream, and bring it to a gentle simmer. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes before stirring in the Parmesan cheese.
• Add the spaghetti squash and cover it nicely with the sauce. Let it heat fully.
• Lastly, add the reserved shrimp on top. Sprinkle with some parsley and serve.

SHRIMP SCAMPI WITH SPAGHETTI SQUASH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Season spaghetti squash with salt and pepper and place cut side down on the baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until easily pierced with a fork, about 40 minutes. Remove from oven and cool until easily handled. Scrape insides of squash into spaghetti strands with a fork.
• Heat 4 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook garlic until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add shrimp and season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Saute shrimp until pink, tossing often to prevent burning, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and add spaghetti squash strands. Mix in lemon juice and zest. Serve sprinkled with parsley.

SPAGHETTI SQUASH ALFREDO

Steps:

• Slice spaghetti squash in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds with a spoon and clean as you would a pumpkin. Completely submerge 1 half at a time, in a large pot of boiling water and cook for about 20 minutes until the inside is just tender to a fork and pulls apart in strands. (Cook's Note: It is better to undercook if you're not sure.) Remove, drain and cool with cold water or ice bath to stop the cooking.
• Scoop out the cooked squash from its skin with a spoon as you would an avocado and discard the skin. Use a fork to fluff and separate the squash into "spaghetti"- like strands. You can also use your hands. Reserve the separated cooked squash and dip with a strainer into boiling water to reheat just before serving.
• Melt half the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add cream and reduce for about 2 minutes, then add garlic and cheese and whisk quickly, heating through. Stir in the rest of the butter and parsley. Place spaghetti squash in a large serving bowl, and pour Alfredo sauce over squash. Garnish with basil and tomatoes. Serve and enjoy!
