SPAGHETTI WITH SUMMER SQUASH, TOMATOES, AND GRILLED SHRIMP
Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat for the spaghetti.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Combine the squashes, tomatoes, onion, garlic, and oregano in a large bowl. Add the olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and give it all a good toss. Dump that out onto a baking sheet and roast for 10 to 12 minutes, until the squash is tender and caramelized. Scrape the vegetables into a large pasta bowl and cover with a plate to keep everything warm.
- The pasta water should be boiling by now. Add the spaghetti and stir to separate the strands. Cook for 8 to 9 minutes, until al dente.
- To finish, scoop out about 1/4 cup of the pasta cooking water, drain the pasta, and toss gently with the roasted vegetables and Grilled Shrimp. Add the pasta water if needed.
- Heat a large outdoor grill and wipe down with oiled paper towel to create a nonstick surface. Add chopped garlic to 1/2 cup oil. Season shrimp with salt and pepper and place on grill. Baste with garlic-olive oil and grill 3 minutes each side basting as you go.

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 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.

SPAGHETTI W/ EGGPLANT, SQUASH AND SHRIMP
Steps:
- Heat the oil in a heavy large nonstick frying pan over medium heat. Add onion and saute until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and saute for just a minute. Add the squash, eggplant, rosemary and thyme and saute for 8 to 10 minutes. Add the wine and broth and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Decrease the heat to medium-low and simmer until the squash is tender and the liquid is reduced by about half, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Add the shrimp and simmer gently until almost cooked through, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring often, about 5 minutes. Drain pasta. (Alternatively, you can use dried pasta, which will take 8 to 10 minutes to cook.) Toss the pasta, squash mixture, and butter in a large bowl until the liquid thickens slightly and coats the pasta. Transfer the pasta mixture to a wide shallow bowl and serve.
Tips:
- To save time, use pre-cut eggplant and squash from the grocery store.
- Be sure to salt the eggplant before cooking to remove any bitterness.
- Cook the eggplant and squash until they are tender but still have a little bit of a bite to them.
- Use a large skillet or Dutch oven to cook the dish so that all of the ingredients have room to cook evenly.
- Add the shrimp last so that they don't overcook.
- Serve the dish over pasta or rice.
Conclusion:
This spaghetti with eggplant, squash, and shrimp is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of flavors and textures is sure to please everyone at the table. Plus, it's a healthy dish that is packed with vegetables.
