Spaghetti Squash With Coconut Shrimp 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.

SPAGHETTI SQUASH WITH COCONUT SHRIMP

Steps:

• Place the squash, flesh-side down, on a microwave-safe plate and microwave for 8 minutes. Flip the squash and microwave until the flesh can easily be scraped with a fork to mimic spaghetti noodles, about 8 minutes.
• Meanwhile, prepare the topping: Heat the 2 teaspoons coconut oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add the panko, coconut flakes and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring often, until the panko is browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove to a small heatproof bowl to stop the browning. Add the basil and set aside.
• Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon coconut oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ginger and garlic. Cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 15 seconds. Reserve 1 tablespoon of the coconut milk in a small bowl and add the rest to the skillet and stir to combine.
• Add the cornstarch to the reserved coconut milk and stir together with a fork to combine, ensuring there are no lumps. Whisk the cornstarch slurry into the coconut milk in the skillet. Continue to cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil and the sauce thickens, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the shrimp, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds pepper. Reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are cooked through, about 5 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice. Set aside.
• Carefully remove the squash from the microwave. Holding each half with a clean kitchen towel, use a fork to scrape the squash flesh into long strands into a large bowl. Add the coconut milk sauce and shrimp to the large bowl; toss to combine. Plate and sprinkle with the topping.
