Butter, lemon, garlic and shrimp -- this can't-go-wrong combo even works on roasted spaghetti squash. The "noodles" and shrimp are tossed together, tucked back into the hollowed-out squash skins and showered with Parmesan, parsley and red pepper flakes just before serving.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 medium spaghetti squash (about 2 1/2 pounds)
2 teaspoons olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound large shrimp (16/20), peeled, deveined and tails removed
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter
1 tablespoon grated garlic (about 4 cloves)
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, plus more for serving
1/3 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon chopped flat-leaf parsley, plus more for serving
Freshly grated Parmesan, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Cut the squash in half widthwise with a serrated knife and remove the seeds with a spoon. Brush the flesh of each half with 1 teaspoon of the oil and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Put the halves flesh-side down on a baking sheet and bake until the flesh can easily be flaked with a fork and the edges just turn brown, about 45 minutes.
  • Separate the strands of squash by scraping the flesh with a fork. Transfer the scraped strands to a large bowl. Cover with foil and keep warm. Reserve the scraped squash shells.
  • Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Melt 4 tablespoons of the butter in the skillet. Add the shrimp and cook until golden pink, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer the shrimp to the bowl with the squash strands.
  • Return the skillet to medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of the butter. When melted, add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in the wine and lemon juice. Increase the heat to high and boil until the liquid thickens slightly, about 1 minute. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the remaining 3 tablespoons butter and the parsley.
  • Pour the sauce over the shrimp and squash strands and toss to combine. Transfer the mixture back into the squash shells and top with grated Parmesan, more parsley and red pepper flakes.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 22m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 green zucchini
3 -4 yellow squash
1 lb large shrimp, peeled & deveined
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
4 garlic cloves, divided
2 tablespoons white wine
1/2 a lemon, juiced
2 tablespoons romano cheese, grated
red pepper flakes, to taste
2 tablespoons parsley
1 tablespoon basil
salt & pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Rinse and pat dry all zucchini and squash. Remove the ends. Over a large bowl, with a vegetable peeler, peel all zucchini and squash lengthwise into linguini/pappardelle-like strips. Continue to peel until you see seeds. Discard seeded cores of zucchini and squash.
  • Finely mince the garlic cloves. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Once oil is heated, add the "linguini". Sauté for about 1 minute. Add half the minced garlic, generous amounts of salt and pepper, and sauté for 1 more minute, gently stirring/folding with tongs. Remove "linguini" from heat and reserve.
  • To the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and heat. Add the remaining garlic and stir; do not burn garlic. When garlic is lightly toasted, add the shrimp, cooking for only 1 to 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the white wine and let simmer for a few seconds.
  • Before shrimp are completely pink, add the red pepper flakes, parsley, basil and lemon juice. Add the "linguini", more salt and pepper and the grated cheese. Toss to combine, about 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a large dish and serve sprinkled with additional grated cheese and lemon wedges.

Tips:

  • Use fresh and succulent shrimp: Opt for wild-caught or sustainably farmed shrimp for the best flavor and texture.
  • Choose a flavorful butternut squash: Select a firm and ripe butternut squash with vibrant orange flesh for the sweetest taste.
  • Cook the shrimp perfectly: Sauté the shrimp in hot oil until they turn opaque and slightly pink, ensuring they remain tender and juicy.
  • Roast the butternut squash to perfection: Roast the butternut squash cubes until they are tender and caramelized, bringing out their natural sweetness.
  • Make a creamy and rich sauce: Combine chicken broth, white wine, butter, garlic, and Parmesan cheese to create a smooth and flavorful sauce.
  • Toss the pasta in the sauce: Coat the cooked pasta in the creamy sauce, ensuring each strand is evenly covered.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs and lemon zest: Add a touch of freshness and brightness with chopped parsley, basil, or chives, and a sprinkle of lemon zest.

This delectable Shrimp Scampi Pasta with Butternut Squash is a culinary symphony that harmonizes the flavors of succulent shrimp, roasted butternut squash, and a creamy scampi sauce.
