Ingredients
  

Spaghetti Squash

  • 1 Spaghetti squash
  • Olive oil
  • Salt & pepper

Shrimp

  • 1 tbsp Garlic olive oil
  • 30 Medium shrimp, peeled
  • Juice from 1/2 a lemon
  • 6 oz White wine
  • 1/4 tsp Red pepper flakes (more or less according to preference)
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Spaghetti Squash

  • Preheat oven to 400℉.
  • Stab spaghetti squash in a few places with a fork along the lines that you'll cut and put in the microwave for about 10 seconds. This make it easier to halve the squash.
  • Cut squash in half and remove the seeds. Dribble olive oil and sprinkle salt and pepper in the inside and using brush spread around evenly.
  • Flip squash so skin side is up (inside of the squash facing the pan) and put in the oven for approximately 45-60 minutes (depending on the size of the squash). Squash is finished when the skin browns a bit.

Shrimp

  • Peel shrimp.
  • Put garlic olive oil in the pan in over medium heat on stove and place shrimp and flip until both sides turn pink.
  • Right after shrimp turn pink add white wine, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper and continue to cook for a minute or two but do not let wine evaporate so there is some left over to drizzle over top when you plate.
  • Taste a shrimp and add more garlic olive oil if desired.

Plating

  • When squash has cooled so you can handle it use a fork pull insides away from the skin.
  • Put spaghetti squash on the plate. Monash states one cup is low Fodmap; limit it to a cup per serving if necessary.
  • Top spaghetti squash with shrimp and drizzle any remaining liquid in the pan overtop.
