GREEK-STYLE SPAGHETTI SQUASH WITH SHRIMP



Greek-Style Spaghetti Squash with Shrimp image

The salty feta and olives are so great with the plump, sweet shrimp and the buttery strands of squash. This dish is great hot, but also delicious at room temperature. Try different herbs if you like. This was a very big hit in my house.

Provided by Katie Workman

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 large spaghetti squash (about 4 pounds)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 pound peeled and cleaned extra-large shrimp
1/2 cup chopped onion
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cups diced tomatoes
1/2 cup roughly chopped kalamata olives
2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano leaves
1 cup crumbled feta

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Cut the spaghetti squash in half and scrape out the seeds with a spoon. Place the halves cut-side down on a rimmed baking sheet and roast until the halves look somewhat wrinkly and collapsed, about 50 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 15 minutes.
  • Use a fork to scrape the inside of the squash to form spaghetti-like strands and transfer to a large serving bowl.
  • Heat the oil over medium heat in a very large, deep skillet (or even a large Dutch oven or pot). Add the garlic and saute until just golden, about 30 seconds. Add the shrimp and onion, season with salt and pepper and saute until the shrimp are pink and almost cooked through, about 4 minutes. Add the tomatoes, olives and oregano and saute until the mixture is hot and the shrimp are cooked through, another 2 minutes.
  • Turn the shrimp mixture into the serving bowl and toss with the spaghetti squash. Sprinkle with the feta and serve.

Time 1h10m

Yield 8 side servings, 4 serving(s)

1/4 cup diced red onion
2 tablespoons chopped pitted kalamata olives
1 (15 1/2 ounce) can garbanzo beans, drained (chickpeas)

Steps:

  • (To cook the spaghetti squash, if you haven't yet: preheat oven to 350 degrees F; slice the squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds; poke holes all over the squash with the tip of a knife; spray a cooking sheet with pan spray and bake the squash halves face down for 30 to 40 minutes or until easily pierced by a fork; let cool until they can be handled, then gently scoop out the insides with a fork - they will form into spaghetti-like strands).

GREEK-STYLE SHRIMP WITH FETA AND SPAGHETTI SQUASH



Greek-Style Shrimp With Feta and Spaghetti Squash image

Spaghetti squash makes a lovely and less caloric substitute for pasta! This dish has lots of flavor and lots of no point veggies! You can place the cooked squash in a pasta bowl and top with sauce or mix the two before serving. The yield of cooked spaghetti squash is variable so I prefer to use the pasta bowl method. And besides, a full pasta bowl looks far more appealing than food spread out on a dinner plate! Points: 7

WW GREEK-STYLE SPAGHETTI SQUASH (WORKS W/SIMPLY FILLING)



Ww Greek-Style Spaghetti Squash (Works W/Simply Filling) image

I got this from my WW leader. Although I'm not normally crazy about chickpeas or spaghetti squash, but this is really good! Definitely better than simply the sum of its parts. I used canned tomatoes with green chilis which added a bit of spice and IMO "made" this recipe. I did not use dill or mint. This is 4 WW pts per serving.
