Ingredients
1 spaghetti squash + olive oil, salt, & black pepper for coating
3 tbsp olive oil
4-6 garlic cloves, minced
1+ 1/2 cups chopped broccoli florets
12-16 jumbo shrimp, shells removed
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/2 cup fresh chopped basil, for topping
Directions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Slice your spaghetti squash in half and remove the seeds (it’s easier to cut in half after stabbing with a fork a few times and then microwave for five minutes). Drizzle with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Place face down on the sheet pan and bake for 35-40 minutes, until tender to a fork.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, then add the garlic. Saute for 1-2 minutes, then add the broccoli, shrimp, salt, and black pepper.
- Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side to fully cook. Add the lemon juice and cook down for another 1-2 minutes.
- When the spaghetti squash is done cooking, use a fork to scoop out the insides (you can leave it inside the squash to eat out of or transfer to bowls). It should come out looking like your favorite spaghetti.
- Top the spaghetti squash with even servings of the shrimp and broccoli mixture, plus fresh chopped basil leaves.
