Shrimp Scampi with Spaghetti Squash

Shrimp Scampi with Spaghetti Squash
  • 6 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 small spaghetti squash, halved and seeded
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 pound uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 pinch red pepper flakes, or to taste
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 1/2 lemon, zested
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley


  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Season spaghetti squash with salt and pepper and place cut side down on the baking sheet.
  2. Bake in the preheated oven until easily pierced with a fork, about 40 minutes. Remove from oven and cool until easily handled. Scrape insides of squash into spaghetti strands with a fork.
  3. Heat 4 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook garlic until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add shrimp and season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
