spaghetti squash shrimp & chicken scampi

hkatrobos

OK.... so i always start to share a recipe... then realize i never follow recipes and i really sort of eyeball anything that can't fit on a spoon or in a measuring cup. sooo with that being said, i think that most of the members on MFP have somewhat of a general idea of the measurments that fit their goals and can make healthy choices that are individual to themselves

what ya need:
spaghetti squash
crimini mushrooms
fresh garlic
raw spinach
raw or frozen shrimp
chicken breast
lemon
white wine (optional)
butter, oil or whatever alternative floats your boat or meets your needs
parmasean cheese

bake/boil/nuke your squash
bake chicken (or again however you like it)
chop and sautee half of your garlic and add in shrimp. when shrimp is nearly done add in mushrooms and spinach (i used a spray that is 0 across the bored for this)
start a little sauce pot with butter or oil (i haven't had butter in months so i stuck it to the man on this one!)
add the remainder of your chopped garlic and white wine (optional) to the sauce pot

chop chicken and add to the shrimp mixture
make sure to get the seeds out of the spaghetti squash before serving (first timer... make that boo boo!)

layer the squash on the bottom
shrimp, chicken, veg mix on top
drizzle a bit of the garlic butter/oil on top
squeeze some lemon juice on it all and top with parmasean cheese

This sounds wonderful, I love the idea of using the squash instead of pasta. I have to give this recipe a try. Thanks for posting it.
