Categories     Pasta     Shellfish     Quick & Easy     Boil

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
3 large garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 small butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 5 cups)
2 Japanese eggplants, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crumbled
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
1 1/4 cups dry white wine
2 cups fish broth, fresh or frozen, or canned vegetable broth
2 pounds uncooked large shrimp, peeled and deveined
Salt and pepper
17.5 ounces orange-colored fresh spaghetti or linguine
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter

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.

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!

Spaghetti Squash With Eggplant and Sesame Seeds image

Provided by Molly O'Neill

Categories     dinner, appetizer

Time 1h20m

Yield Four servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 large eggplant, left unpeeled, trimmed and cut lengthwise into 8 slices
3 teaspoons kosher salt
1 medium-size spaghetti squash
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
1/2 cup sesame seeds, lightly toasted
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the eggplant slices on paper towels and sprinkle with 2 teaspoons of salt. Set aside to drain.
  • Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scrape out the seeds and fibers. Place cut side down on a baking sheet and bake until tender, about 45 minutes. Scrape the squash flesh out with a fork and set aside.
  • Raise the oven temperature to 450 degrees. Pat the eggplant dry and brush on both sides with the olive oil. Place on a large baking sheet (or divide between 2 sheets) and bake until tender, about 15 minutes.
  • While the eggplant is baking, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and saute for 1 minute. Stir in the spaghetti squash and 1 teaspoon of salt and cook until heated through. Turn the heat very low.
  • Coat the eggplant slices on both sides with the sesame seeds. Place a heaping teaspoon of the Parmesan cheese in the center of each slice and roll them up individually.
  • Stir the remaining cheese into the squash. Divide the squash among 4 plates and top with 2 eggplant rolls each. Serve immediately.
