  • Main

    • 6 tablespoons olive oil, divided
    • 1 small spaghetti squash, halved and seeded
    • 🧂 Salt and ground black pepper to taste
    • 🧄 4 cloves garlic, minced
    • 🦐 1 pound uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
    • 1 pinch red pepper flakes, or to taste
    • 🍋 1 lemon, juiced

STEPS

1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Season spaghetti squash with salt and pepper and place cut side down on the baking sheet.

2

Bake in the preheated oven until easily pierced with a fork, about 40 minutes. Remove from oven and cool until easily handled. Scrape insides of squash into spaghetti strands with a fork.

3

Heat 4 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook garlic until fragrant, about 2 minutes.

4

Add shrimp and season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Saute shrimp until pink, tossing often to prevent burning, about 5 minutes.
