7/3-Carb Free Pasta

Today is a rest day, so I decided to try and be creative in the kitchen.  I'm part Italian and a few other ethnicites that enjoy eating.  I don't have an exact recipe for this dish as I typically go by taste.

Ingredients
1 Spaghetti Squash-
10-15 shrimp (peeled and deveined)
1 cup of Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
Olive Oil (I use a chili and garlic olive oil)

Prep:

  1. Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and remove the seeds.
  2. Preheat oven to 375 degrees
  3. Place the squash face down in a cooking pan and fill with water until the bottom of the squash is covered.
  4. Cook the squash for 45-60 minutes or until tender.
  5. Sautee the shrimp in olive oil and any specific spices you may enjoy.
  6. Remove squash from the oven and let cool for a bit.
  7. Using tongs, hold the squash and run a fork through the squash.  This will cause the squash to shred out in spaghetti like strands.  Drain excess liquid before adding shrimp and cheese.
  8. Add shrimp and cheese.  Stir to mix and melt the cheese.

Not the most elegant of dinner service.  I chose to have my "spaghetti" wit a glass of iced tea ala Duck Dynasty style.  I would think that a nice white wine and fancy plates would serve this dish well.  ENJOY!!!
