Spaghetti Squash With Coconut Shrimp Recipes

SPAGHETTI SQUASH SCAMPI BOATS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Cut the squash in half widthwise with a serrated knife and remove the seeds with a spoon. Brush the flesh of each half with 1 teaspoon of the oil and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Put the halves flesh-side down on a baking sheet and bake until the flesh can easily be flaked with a fork and the edges just turn brown, about 45 minutes.
• Separate the strands of squash by scraping the flesh with a fork. Transfer the scraped strands to a large bowl. Cover with foil and keep warm. Reserve the scraped squash shells.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Melt 4 tablespoons of the butter in the skillet. Add the shrimp and cook until golden pink, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer the shrimp to the bowl with the squash strands.
• Return the skillet to medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of the butter. When melted, add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in the wine and lemon juice. Increase the heat to high and boil until the liquid thickens slightly, about 1 minute. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the remaining 3 tablespoons butter and the parsley.
• Pour the sauce over the shrimp and squash strands and toss to combine. Transfer the mixture back into the squash shells and top with grated Parmesan, more parsley and red pepper flakes.

THAI PEANUT SPAGHETTI SQUASH BOWLS WITH SHRIMP

Steps:

• For the Thai peanut sauce: Whisk together the coconut milk, peanut butter, lime juice, soy sauce, maple syrup, garlic and red pepper flakes, if using, until the texture is creamy and smooth. (You can also use a blender or food processor to make the sauce.)
• For the squash bowls: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Brush the spaghetti squash with 2 teaspoons olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Put the squash cut-side down on a baking sheet and bake until the squash is tender, 50 minutes to 1 hour.
• Thirty minutes before the squash is done, toss the broccoli florets with 2 teaspoons olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Spread out in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast until very tender, 20 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and toss with 2 tablespoons of the peanut sauce.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the coconut milk, ginger, lime juice, soy sauce, maple syrup, cumin, turmeric, cayenne and shallot in a bowl. Add the shrimp and toss to combine. Let sit for 5 minutes.
• Heat the remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook until seared and just pink on each side, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Run a fork over the squash flesh to create spaghetti-like strands. Put in a large bowl and toss with 2 tablespoons of the peanut sauce.
• Divide the spaghetti squash, broccoli and shrimp among 4 bowls. Drizzle with the remaining peanut sauce and garnish with cilantro and crushed peanuts.

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.

GARLIC HERB SHRIMP AND SPAGHETTI SQUASH RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Using a fork or knife, carefully poke holes along the middle of the squash.
• Microwave for 5 minutes so the squash softens and is easier to cut.
• Cut in half horizontally and scoop out the seeds.
• Drizzle olive oil, salt, and pepper.
• Place in the Instant Pot and secure the lid until you hear the beep. Tip: Closing the lid can be tricky. Have the pressure knob at 11 o'clock and turn right.
• Set the pressure knob on the top of the lid to Sealing. Select "Manual" and reduce to 7 minutes. It will say "On" in a few seconds. Note: the Instant Pot will need to warm up for 5-10 minutes. Steam will be released and a few minutes later, the time will start counting down.
• While the squash is cooking, prepare the shrimp. Place the shrimp in a bowl and add the minced garlic, onion powder, parsley, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Mix until combined. Refrigerate until ready to cook.
• Once the 7 minutes is up, let the squash rest in the pot for 5 minutes. It will count up and read "L 0:05".
• Using a towel or mit, release the pressure knob from "Sealing" to "Venting". After the steam has been released, carefully take the squash out of the pot and let it rest in a bowl.
• Drain the excess liquid and clean the pot.
• To cook the shrimp, select "Saute" on the Instant Pot. Once it says "Hot", add the oil. When the oil is shimmering, add the shrimp in a single layer (cook in batches if necessary). Cook for 3-5 minutes per side or until opaque.
• Press "Cancel" and remove the shrimp.
• Using a fork, shred the inside of the squash.
• Serve the spaghetti squash and shrimp together. If desired, top with parmesan cheese and fresh parsley.
• Enjoy!
