Cooking Directions

• STEP 1.Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
• STEP 2.In a bowl, combine the shrimp, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, pepper, and herbs. Toss to coat the shrimp evenly.
• STEP 3.Thread the shrimp onto skewers and grill for 2-3 minutes per side, until they are pink and opaque.
• STEP 4.While the shrimp is grilling, prepare the spaghetti squash. Cut the squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Brush the cut sides with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
• STEP 5.Place the squash halves cut-side down on a baking sheet and roast in the oven at 400°F for 30-40 minutes, or until the flesh is tender and can be easily shredded into strands with a fork.
• STEP 6.Once the spaghetti squash is cooked, use a fork to scrape the flesh into strands. Divide the strands among serving plates.
• STEP 7.Remove the shrimp from the skewers and place them on top of the spaghetti squash.
• STEP 8.Garnish with fresh herbs, such as parsley or basil, and serve immediately.

Cooking Tips

• To ensure even cooking, make sure the shrimp are similar in size.
• If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent them from burning.
• You can add additional vegetables, such as cherry tomatoes or bell peppers, to the skewers for added flavor and color.

Storage and Serving

• This dish is best served immediately after cooking to enjoy the freshness and texture of the shrimp.
• If you have leftovers, store the shrimp and spaghetti squash separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator.
• Reheat the shrimp in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through, and reheat the spaghetti squash in the microwave or oven.
• Serve the reheated shrimp over the reheated spaghetti squash, garnish with fresh herbs, and enjoy.
