Sesame Spaghetti Squash Noodles and Roasted Shrimp

Coming across this recipe was really exciting for us.  Usually when you see spaghetti squash noodles subbing for pasta its an Italian dish and this Asian flare was right up our alley. 

Ingredients For the "Noodles":

1 Large Squash

4 Tablespoons Toasted Sesame Oil

4 Tablespoons Soy Sauce (we used low sodium)

2 Tablespoons Rice Wine Vinegar

pinch of Ground Ginger

pinch of Garlic Powder

4 Tablespoons toasted Sesame Seeds

1/2 cup diced Green Onions

1/2 cup fresh Edamame

Sriracha Sauce (optional) 

Ingredients For the Roasted Shrimp:

1 package of De-veined Raw Frozen Shrimp (defrost)

4 Tablespoons Olive Oil

Sea Salt

Black Pepper

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees, halved the squash and scoop out seeds, place into a dish and bake for about 1 hour depending on the size of your squash, it should be soft and parts easily when poked with a fork. 

2. While cooking combine sesame oil, soy sauce, vinegar, ginger, garlic powder, and sesame seeds in a small bowl and let the flavors marry.

3. When squash is tender let cool.

4. Meanwhile, on a foiled baking sheet lay out defrosted and peeled shrimp, drizzle oil evenly and season well with salt and pepper, place in oven and watch for shrimp to turn a perfect pink color about 10 mins.

5. After squash is cooled fork out the squash until all the stringy spaghetti is removed from skin.

6. Toss sauce with "noodles", and gently fold in edamame and green onions. 

7. Top with roasted shrimp and a few squirts of Siracha.

Enjoy!
