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

¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon oil
parmesan cheese, optional
fresh parsley, for garnish

Steps:

  • 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 With Garlic, Parsley and Breadcrumbs image

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.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, easy

Time 1h30m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 spaghetti squash, about 3 pounds
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
3 to 4 large garlic cloves, green shoots removed, minced
2 tablespoons breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
Salt
freshly ground pepper to taste
Freshly grated Parmesan

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right spaghetti squash. Look for one that is firm and has a deep yellow color. Avoid any squash that has soft spots or blemishes.
  • Cook the spaghetti squash properly. The best way to cook spaghetti squash is to roast it in the oven. This will help to caramelize the natural sugars in the squash and give it a slightly sweet flavor.
  • Use fresh herbs. Fresh herbs will add a lot of flavor to your spaghetti squash dish. If you don't have any fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use only half the amount.
  • Don't overcook the spaghetti squash. Spaghetti squash is best when it is still slightly firm. If you overcook it, it will become mushy and lose its flavor.
  • Serve the spaghetti squash immediately. Spaghetti squash is best when it is served hot. If you need to make it ahead of time, you can cook it and then store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, simply reheat it in the oven or microwave.

Conclusion:

Spaghetti squash is a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional pasta. It is low in calories and carbohydrates, and it is a good source of fiber, vitamins, and minerals. This versatile vegetable can be used in a variety of dishes, from simple side dishes to hearty main courses. With its mild flavor and delicate texture, spaghetti squash is a great way to add a healthy and flavorful twist to your favorite recipes.
