Steps:
- Thaw and pat dry shrimp, set aside to bring to room temperature.
- Boil water for pasta.
- Meanwhile, prepare garlic by slicing longways in slivers, leaving the garlic quite large. Sometimes, I only cut the garlic cloves in half and leave them in large pieces. Sometimes, I chop them finely. It depends on my mood!
- Finely chop onion.
- In a large skillet, add margarine/butter and Olive Oil and heat through on medium.
- Add onion and garlic.
- Add pasta to boiling water.
- Sautee garlic and onion until onions becomes transparent but do not burn the garlic! Add the onion first if you are afraid to burn the garlic. Burning it will cause it to taste bitter.
- Add shrimp, fresh ground pepper, and salt to taste.
- Once shrimp begin to curl up a little, add spinach. The spinach will be wilted in the pan when finished.
- By this time, your pasta should be ready for draining.
- Drain pasta and add to your shrimp and spinach mix still in the pan.
- Toss thoroughly and plate.
- Feel free to add chopped red or yellow pepper to this recipe. Baby scallops are also very tasty added to it as well.

Steps:
- 1. Slice the spaghetti squash right down the middle so that you have 2 halves. Preheat oven to 425 & pour the 1/4 cup water into a shallow baking pan. Pierce the skin of the squash all over w/ a good strong fork. Place squash halves side by side in pan facing down, Bake squash 15-20 mins. Take out of oven, turn 1 of the squashes over & using a fork scrape out the seeds and pulp. Scrape to see if strands of "pasta" come out easily. If so they're done. If not, put back in oven, cook another 10 mins.
- 2. Once squash is done, scrap all seeds & pulp out of the shells and then scrape all the stringy " pasta" out of the hulls of the squash. Place the squash pasta in a medium bowl w/ 2tbsps of butter & cover, set aside. In large pot, place 2 tsp olive oil, spinach, & cherry tomatoes, set over medium, cover 2-3 mins, uncover , season w/ salt & pepper to taste and stir. Put cover back on, set on low to keep warm. In a large skillet, heat 1 tsp oil over medium heat. Add onion. Cook, stirring for 1 minute. Add garlic,shrimp & most of the red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring, 2 mins.
- 3. Stir in broth, Old Bay Seasoning & pepper. Cook 2-3 mins more. Remove pan from heat, stir in 1 tbsp butter & remaining oil, stirring until butter is melted. Stir in the parsley, dill & the lemon juice. Add shrimp mix to " pasta" mix and gently mix to combine. Spoon Spaghetti "pasta" mix into the large pot w/ the spinach & tomatoes. Increase heat to medium, while gently stirring to meld together. Sprinkle w/ grated Parmesan cheese, remaining red pepper flakes, parsley and more dill, if you want.
Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh garlic, spinach, and shrimp will give your pasta dish the best flavor.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the shrimp, don't overcrowd the pan or they will steam instead of sear.
- Cook the shrimp until they are just opaque: Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
- Wilt the spinach before adding it to the pasta: This will help to reduce its volume and make it easier to stir into the pasta.
- Season the pasta to taste: Add salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste.
- Serve immediately: Pasta is best served immediately after it is cooked.
