GREEK-STYLE SPAGHETTI SQUASH WITH SHRIMP
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.

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.

Steps:
- Cut the squash in half lengthwise with a sharp knife and remove the seeds with a spoon. Brush the flesh of each half with 1 teaspoon of the oil and season with salt and pepper. Put the halves flesh-side down on a baking sheet and bake at 400F until the edges just turn brown, about 45 minutes.
- Once baked, let it cool down a bit, and separate the strands of squash by scraping the flesh with a fork. Transfer the scraped strands to a large bowl.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the butter, shrimp, salt, and pepper, and cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until the shrimp reaches the desired doneness. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set it aside.
- Reduce the heat to medium. To the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute.
- Then add the veggie broth and cream, and bring it to a gentle simmer. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes before stirring in the Parmesan cheese.
- Add the spaghetti squash and cover it nicely with the sauce. Let it heat fully.
- Lastly, add the reserved shrimp on top. Sprinkle with some parsley and serve.

SPAGHETTI SQUASH SAUTEED WITH SHRIMP
Yummy, healthier version of spaghetti! Shrimp and colorful peppers and onions add a summer feel to this dish my mother and I created one night. Quick with microwave, but if you prefer an oven, bake the squash halves at 350 for about an hour or until soft. Capers would make a good addition to this! Spaghetti sauce has great basic taste so it could be a healthier base to any pasta dish. Serves four for a delicious dinner or a side could serve 8-10.

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!
