Ingredients

4 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
1/4 cup fresh oregano, chopped
1 lemon, zested and juiced
1 lb raw peeled shrimp, fresh or frozen
2 medium spaghetti squash, halved and seeded
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 tbsp unsalted butter
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1/2 tsp salt

Method

1
Preheat your oven to 475°F. Put a rack in the middle. You can line a baking sheet with foil if you want.
2
Wash the squash. Cut it in half and take out the seeds. Rub the halves with 1 tbsp olive oil and sprinkle with 1/4 tsp salt and some pepper. Put them on the baking sheet with the cut side down.
3
Cook the squash in the oven until it's soft, about 20-25 minutes.
4
While the squash is cooking, chop the basil and oregano. Put them in a bowl.
5
Add the lemon zest and half of the lemon juice to the herbs.
6
Heat a pan over medium heat. If your shrimp are frozen, rinse them to thaw a bit and take off any ice. Dry the shrimp with a towel.
7
When the pan is hot, put in 2 tbsp olive oil and the butter. Let them melt and mix.
8
Put the garlic and red pepper in the pan. Cook until it smells good, about 30 seconds.
9
Add the shrimp. Cook them until they're not see-through anymore, about 2-4 minutes.
10
Put the herb mix, the rest of the lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper into the pan with the shrimp. Stir it all together.
11
Take the squash out of the oven. Let it cool for a bit, then use a fork to make the squash look like spaghetti.
12
Put the squash on plates and top with the shrimp and sauce. Now it's ready to eat!
