Instructions
 

Spaghetti Squash Noodles

  • Heat oven to 400F.
  • Make a lengthwise outline around the squash with a small, sharp paring knife. Pierce the knife in multiple places on the outline. Continue making small slices around the squash until you can easily pull it apart.
  • Scoop seeds out of each half.
  • Brush each half with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
  • Bake for 45 minutes, or until edges are slightly burned.
  • Let cool for 20 minutes.
  • Shred into noodles using a fork.

Shrimp

  • Preheat oven to 400F.
  • Combine shrimp with oil and seasonings.
  • Spread out on a sheet pan in a single layer.
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes, until tails have curled and they’re no longer opaque in color.
  • Add to shredded spaghetti squash half.

Creamy Mushroom Sauce

  • Heat 2 tablespoon of olive oil to a large saute pan on medium-high and add mushrooms. Cook down for 5 minutes.
  • Add garlic, shallots, dried herbs, and salt then stir to combine. Cook for 2 minutes.
  • Add coconut milk and lemon juice and bring to a boil, then lower heat to a steady simmer. Add stirred arrowroot slurry then cook down to thicken for about 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Cut the heat and stir in freshly chopped basil. Drizzle over spaghetti noodles and shrimp.

Notes

  • You will know the shrimp is done when the tails are curled and the color has changed from opaque to pink. 
  • The brand of coconut cream will differ in taste. Some brands are stronger-tasting in flavor than others.
