Spaghetti Squash Scampi
Serves 2
you'll need:
- 1 spaghetti squash
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 clove of garlic
- 1 shallot
- 1 T olive oil
- 1 T butter
- red pepper flakes to taste
- half a pound of shrimp
- juice of 1 lemon
- 1/4 cup dry white wine (optional)
- salt and pepper to taste
Cut squash in half lengthwise. Microwave flat sides down for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in skillet. Finely chop the shallot and garlic and add to oil.
Chop red bell pepper and add to skillet. Saute for 3 minutes.
Add butter, lemon juice, and shrimp. Bring to a boil, then add wine if using. Sprinkle salt and pepper to taste on top of shrimp. Cook for another 5 minutes.

While shrimp is cooking, scrape seeds out of squash when it is done. This requires pot holders for me because the squash it HOT after being in the microwave. Using a fork, scrape out the "spaghetti" flesh and add to skillet with shrimp. Toss shrimp and squash until it is mixed.
Serve with parmesan cheese sprinkled on top. I also recommend finishing the bottle of wine.
