GREEK-STYLE SPAGHETTI SQUASH WITH SHRIMP



Greek-Style Spaghetti Squash with Shrimp image

The salty feta and olives are so great with the plump, sweet shrimp and the buttery strands of squash. This dish is great hot, but also delicious at room temperature. Try different herbs if you like. This was a very big hit in my house.

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 large spaghetti squash (about 4 pounds)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 pound peeled and cleaned extra-large shrimp
1/2 cup chopped onion
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cups diced tomatoes
1/2 cup roughly chopped kalamata olives
2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano leaves
1 cup crumbled feta

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Cut the spaghetti squash in half and scrape out the seeds with a spoon. Place the halves cut-side down on a rimmed baking sheet and roast until the halves look somewhat wrinkly and collapsed, about 50 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 15 minutes.
  • Use a fork to scrape the inside of the squash to form spaghetti-like strands and transfer to a large serving bowl.
  • Heat the oil over medium heat in a very large, deep skillet (or even a large Dutch oven or pot). Add the garlic and saute until just golden, about 30 seconds. Add the shrimp and onion, season with salt and pepper and saute until the shrimp are pink and almost cooked through, about 4 minutes. Add the tomatoes, olives and oregano and saute until the mixture is hot and the shrimp are cooked through, another 2 minutes.
  • Turn the shrimp mixture into the serving bowl and toss with the spaghetti squash. Sprinkle with the feta and serve.

Spaghettini with Spicy Seafood image

My mom had her go-to dinner party dishes and this pasta was always a hit. It is one of my favorites-and one of the first recipes that made me love seafood. The beauty is in its simplicity: For all its flavor and elegance, the dish has the approachability of a quick weeknight meal. - Stephen Jackson, Recipe Developer

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Kosher salt
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 pound medium shrimp, peeled, deveined and tails removed
Freshly ground black pepper
8 ounces bay scallops or small sea scallops
12 ounces thin spaghetti
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1/2 cup dry white wine
One 15-ounce can diced tomatoes
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/2 cup torn fresh basil leaves
Zest of 1 lemon, finely grated

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until it is shimmering. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper, add to the skillet and cook until lightly browned on both sides, about 3 minutes total; transfer to a plate. Season the scallops with salt and pepper, add to the skillet and cook undisturbed until nicely browned on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Give the scallops a quick stir and cook 1 minute, then transfer to the plate with the shrimp.
  • Add the spaghetti to the boiling water and cook according to the package directions for al dente. Strain, reserving 1/2 cup cooking water.
  • While the spaghetti cooks, reduce the heat to medium, add the garlic to the skillet and cook until softened and lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Add the wine and cook, stirring to scrape up any brown bits, until reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, red pepper flakes and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Add the pasta, shrimp, scallops and reserved cooking water and toss to combine. Continue cooking until the sauce coats the pasta and the seafood is heated through, about 2 minutes.
  • Turn off the heat, stir in the parsley and basil and divide among four serving bowls. Sprinkle with the lemon zest, drizzle with more olive oil if desired and serve.

GREEK-STYLE SHRIMP WITH FETA AND SPAGHETTI SQUASH



Greek-Style Shrimp With Feta and Spaghetti Squash image

Spaghetti squash makes a lovely and less caloric substitute for pasta! This dish has lots of flavor and lots of no point veggies! You can place the cooked squash in a pasta bowl and top with sauce or mix the two before serving. The yield of cooked spaghetti squash is variable so I prefer to use the pasta bowl method. And besides, a full pasta bowl looks far more appealing than food spread out on a dinner plate! Points: 7

SPAGHETTI SQUASH I



Spaghetti Squash I image

The flesh of spaghetti squash comes out in long strands, very much resembling the noodles for which it is named. In this recipe, the 'noodles' are tossed with vegetables and feta cheese. You can substitute different vegetables, but be sure to use ones that have contrasting colors.

GARLIC HERB SHRIMP AND SPAGHETTI SQUASH RECIPE BY TASTY



Garlic Herb Shrimp And Spaghetti Squash Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: spaghetti squash, oil, salt, pepper, raw shrimp, garlic, onion powder, dried parsley, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, pepper, oil, parmesan cheese, fresh parsley

Provided by Tiffany Lo

Categories     Dinner

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 spaghetti squash
oil, to taste
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
1 lb raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon dried basil
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon oil
parmesan cheese, optional
fresh parsley, for garnish

Steps:

  • Using a fork or knife, carefully poke holes along the middle of the squash.
  • Microwave for 5 minutes so the squash softens and is easier to cut.
  • Cut in half horizontally and scoop out the seeds.
  • Drizzle olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  • Place in the Instant Pot and secure the lid until you hear the beep. Tip: Closing the lid can be tricky. Have the pressure knob at 11 o'clock and turn right.
  • Set the pressure knob on the top of the lid to Sealing. Select "Manual" and reduce to 7 minutes. It will say "On" in a few seconds. Note: the Instant Pot will need to warm up for 5-10 minutes. Steam will be released and a few minutes later, the time will start counting down.
  • While the squash is cooking, prepare the shrimp. Place the shrimp in a bowl and add the minced garlic, onion powder, parsley, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Mix until combined. Refrigerate until ready to cook.
  • Once the 7 minutes is up, let the squash rest in the pot for 5 minutes. It will count up and read "L 0:05".
  • Using a towel or mit, release the pressure knob from "Sealing" to "Venting". After the steam has been released, carefully take the squash out of the pot and let it rest in a bowl.
  • Drain the excess liquid and clean the pot.
  • To cook the shrimp, select "Saute" on the Instant Pot. Once it says "Hot", add the oil. When the oil is shimmering, add the shrimp in a single layer (cook in batches if necessary). Cook for 3-5 minutes per side or until opaque.
  • Press "Cancel" and remove the shrimp.
  • Using a fork, shred the inside of the squash.
  • Serve the spaghetti squash and shrimp together. If desired, top with parmesan cheese and fresh parsley.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Spaghetti Squash: Opt for spaghetti squash that feels heavy for its size and has a deep yellow color for a sweeter flavor.
  • Cooking Options: Spaghetti squash can be cooked using various methods. You can roast it, boil it, or microwave it. Roasting caramelizes the edges for a nutty flavor, boiling softens the flesh, and microwaving is a quick and convenient option.
  • Preparing the Shrimp: Devein and peel the shrimp to remove the intestinal tract and shell. You can use fresh or frozen shrimp, adjusting the cooking time accordingly.
  • Cooking Technique: Sautéing the shrimp in olive oil with garlic and chili flakes enhances its flavor. Make sure to cook the shrimp until pink and opaque, avoiding overcooking to prevent toughness.
  • Complementary Ingredients: Feel free to add your favorite vegetables to the dish to increase its nutritional value and flavor. Options include broccoli florets, sliced mushrooms, or bell peppers.
  • Sauce Variations: Experiment with different sauces to complement the spicy shrimp and spaghetti squash. Try a creamy tomato sauce, a light lemon-butter sauce, or a classic garlic and olive oil dressing.
