Citrus Shrimp with Snow Peas over Spaghetti Squash
<!-- google_ad_section_start(name=default) -->Tuesday, March 6, 2012Citrus Shrimp with Snow Peas over Spaghetti SquashI bought my first spaghetti squash the other day. I'll admit I had no idea how to cook it. Google to the rescue! So simple, I just pierced it five or six times with a sharp knife and popped it in the microwave. This recipe, typical of the way I cook and quilt, is an accumulation of various ideas floating around in my head. I think it turned out quite nicely, and it was super quick and easy. Give it a try. PeggyYou will need the following ingredients:1 1/2 lbs of cooked shrimp thawed, tails removed1 pkg snow peas1 spaghetti squash3 Tblsp fresh lemon juice3 Tblsp white wine2 tsp olive oil1/2 tsp fresh minced garlic1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes1/4 tsp paprika1/4 tsp sea salt1 bay leaf2 Tblsp fresh parsleyThaw the shrimp, remove the tails, and squeeze out the excess water. Squeeze the lemons to make 3 Tblsp of juice. I love my green vintage depression glass juicer that I got from my Grandma. It makes me smile.Combine the lemon juice, wine, and all spices in a bowl. Add the shrimp and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Pierce the squash 4 or 5 times with a sharp knife, then cook on high in the microwave for 10-12 minutes. http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ERBN58l0Se...uash+2.jpg.JPG Remove the shrimp, then heat the marinade in a fry pan. Add the peas and saute for about 4 minutes. http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-z4kmE__om-...uash+6.jpg.JPGAdd the shrimp and cook just until heated through then remove the bay leaf.http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-q5M5QOTECj...uash+9.jpg.JPGCut the squash through the equator, not lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds and discard. Use a fork to scrape out the squash and separate the strands.http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-MbifXTA4M5...uash+8.jpg.JPGPlace the squash on a plate. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Add the shrimp and peas.http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9pCK3sbFiU...ash+10.jpg.JPG |

This sounds really good. I love spaghetti squash and this offers a new way to fix it. I usually just cook it and add butter, salt, & pepper (my favorite way to eat it), but I've also used it with a tomato sauce like spaghetti.
Once I even used spaghetti squash to make a mock coconut pie. It was soooo good and you could not tell there was no real coconut in the pie. |
Looks great. I will have to try it.
