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!

SPAGHETTI SQUASH WITH GARLIC, PARSLEY AND BREADCRUMBS
Spaghetti squash gets its name from the fact that once it is cooked, the flesh breaks down into long spaghettilike strands. I find spaghetti squash a bit dull on its own, as it does not have the sweetness and depth of many other winter squash. But it is hard to resist substituting spaghetti squash for pasta every once in a while, and the squash will pick up other robust flavors in the dish. Most spaghetti squash are pretty large; you will need only half of a 3 to 3 1/2-pound squash for this recipe. You can toss the leftovers with tomato sauce the next day.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Pierce the squash in several places with a sharp knife. Cover a baking sheet with foil, and place the squash on top. Bake for one hour, until the squash is soft and easy to cut with a knife. Remove from the heat, and allow to cool until you can handle it. Cut in half lengthwise, and allow to cool some more. Remove the seeds and discard. Scoop out the flesh from half of the squash, and place in a bowl. Run a fork through the flesh to separate the spaghettilike strands. You should have about 4 cups of squash. (Use some squash from the other half if necessary). Set aside the other half for another dish.
- Heat the oil in a large, heavy nonstick skillet over medium heat, and add the garlic and bread crumbs. When they begin to sizzle and smell fragrant and the breadcrumbs are crisp - that is, after about a minute - stir in the squash and parsley, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Toss together over medium heat until the squash is infused with the garlic and oil and heated through, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove to a warm serving dish, top with freshly grated Parmesan and serve.

SPICY SHRIMP, SPAGHETTI SQUASH AND FETA
Spaghetti squash is the only squash I will eat since it's not slimy. I love spicy shrimp and garlic. It is a make to your taste kind of recipe, so adjust to your own tastes. Measurements aren't exact and you'll want to adjust if you don't like as much garlic or spiciness as we do. This is great as leftovers and reheats well in the microwave without the shrimp. Any type of soft Italian bread complements this dish well. You could sub angel hair pasta if you like, but the spaghetti squash keep it lower in carbs.

- If you don't have spaghetti squash, you can use other types of winter squash, such as butternut squash or acorn squash.
- To save time, you can cook the spaghetti squash in the microwave. Simply pierce the squash a few times with a fork, then microwave on high for 10-12 minutes, or until the squash is tender.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the herbs and garlic by hand.
- To make the shrimp more flavorful, you can marinate them in the olive oil, herbs, and garlic for 30 minutes before cooking.
- If you don't have white wine, you can use chicken broth or vegetable broth instead.
- To make the sauce more creamy, you can add a tablespoon of heavy cream or sour cream.
- Serve the shrimp and spaghetti squash immediately, topped with Parmesan cheese and fresh herbs.
