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!

TASTY GARLIC SHRIMP



Tasty Garlic Shrimp image

I love shrimp! This is a quick and easy way to prepare garlic shrimp. So versatile too, can be served over rice, noodles, or alone. Your choice. Enjoy!

Provided by Debbie Sue

Categories     Seafood

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 Tbsp extra light olive oil
2 clove garlic, pressed or minced
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 Tbsp unsalted butter
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

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. You won't be disappointed!
