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!

Steps:
- 1. It's up to you whether you keep the tails, or remove them from the shrimp. I prefer to remove them prior to cooking.
- 2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic, and sprinkle with the cayenne pepper. Cook and stir until the garlic is fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- 3. Add the shrimp and cook, stirring often, until the shrimp are opaque, about 2 minutes. DON'T OVER COOK!
- 4. Add the butter and stir to coat the shrimp. Season with salt and pepper.
- 5. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
Tips:
- Use large shrimp. Smaller shrimp will cook too quickly and become tough.
- Peel and devein the shrimp. This will help them to cook evenly and prevent the shells from becoming tough.
- Marinate the shrimp in a flavorful mixture. This will help to add flavor and moisture to the shrimp.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. If you overcrowd the pan, the shrimp will not cook evenly.
- Cook the shrimp over medium-high heat. This will help to sear the shrimp and prevent them from becoming tough.
- Cook the shrimp until they are pink and opaque. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
- Serve the shrimp immediately. Garlic shrimp is best served hot and fresh.
Conclusion:
Garlic shrimp is a quick and easy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great appetizer or party food. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and flavorful dish that everyone will enjoy. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, try garlic shrimp.
