Lemon spaghetti squash with shrimp is a delightful and nutritious alternative to traditional pasta dishes. This recipe combines the fresh and zesty flavors of lemon and parsley with succulent shrimp and a creamy Greek yogurt sauce, served over tender spaghetti squash. It's a perfect low-carb, high-protein meal that's both satisfying and light.
- To perfectly cook the spaghetti squash, slice it in half lengthwise, scoop out the seeds, and bake face-down in a 400°F (200°C) oven for about 30-40 minutes, or until the flesh is tender and easily separated into strands with a fork.
- When cooking shrimp, be careful not to overcook them. They only need about 2-3 minutes per side until they turn pink and opaque.
- Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the best flavor and to enhance the freshness of the dish.
- Add white wine gradually to allow the alcohol to evaporate and deepen the flavors of the sauce.
- For a spicier kick, you can add a bit more red pepper flakes to taste.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, allow it to simmer a bit longer until it reaches your desired consistency.
This lemon spaghetti squash with shrimp is a flavorful and healthy dish that's sure to become a favorite. The tangy lemon juice, aromatic garlic, and creamy Greek yogurt come together perfectly with the tender shrimp and spaghetti squash. Whether you're looking for a light dinner or a dish to impress your guests, this recipe is a winner.
