SPAGHETTI WITH SUMMER SQUASH, TOMATOES, AND GRILLED SHRIMP
Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat for the spaghetti.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Combine the squashes, tomatoes, onion, garlic, and oregano in a large bowl. Add the olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and give it all a good toss. Dump that out onto a baking sheet and roast for 10 to 12 minutes, until the squash is tender and caramelized. Scrape the vegetables into a large pasta bowl and cover with a plate to keep everything warm.
- The pasta water should be boiling by now. Add the spaghetti and stir to separate the strands. Cook for 8 to 9 minutes, until al dente.
- To finish, scoop out about 1/4 cup of the pasta cooking water, drain the pasta, and toss gently with the roasted vegetables and Grilled Shrimp. Add the pasta water if needed.
- Heat a large outdoor grill and wipe down with oiled paper towel to create a nonstick surface. Add chopped garlic to 1/2 cup oil. Season shrimp with salt and pepper and place on grill. Baste with garlic-olive oil and grill 3 minutes each side basting as you go.

Steps:
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic, and cook until soft but not browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Add shrimp, parsley, oregano, and red-pepper flakes; cook, stirring frequently, until shrimp are bright pink and opaque, about 2 minutes.
- Raise heat to medium-high, and add wine. Continue cooking until most of the liquid has evaporated. Remove from heat; season with salt and pepper. Serve hot, with lemon wedges on the side.
Tips:
- Choose the right spaghetti squash. Look for a squash that is about 2 pounds, with a smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid squash that has any soft spots or bruises.
- Roast the spaghetti squash properly. To ensure that the squash is cooked through and tender, roast it at a high temperature (400 degrees Fahrenheit) for about 45 minutes, or until a fork can easily pierce the flesh.
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the dish will taste. Look for fresh, ripe vegetables and seafood, and use a good-quality olive oil.
- Don't overcook the shrimp. Shrimp cooks very quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Otherwise, it will become tough and rubbery.
- Season the dish to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You may also want to add a squeeze of lemon juice or a pinch of red pepper flakes.
