Spicy Shrimp, Spaghetti Squash and Feta

Submitted by danlaurayv

"Spaghetti squash is the only squash I will eat since it's not slimy. I love spicy shrimp and garlic. It is a make to your taste kind of recipe, so adjust to your own tastes. Measurements aren't exact and you'll want to adjust if you don't like as much garlic or spiciness as we do. This is great as leftovers and reheats well in the microwave without the shrimp. Any type of soft Italian bread complements this dish well. You could sub angel hair pasta if you like, but the spaghetti squash keep it lower in carbs."

Excellent! There is a ton of flavor in this dish. My husband normally will not eat squash and he loved it. To make prep easier, I cooked the squash in the microwave. We made a last minute trip to the store to get the herb feta. Don't skimp on this ingredient - it's the perfect compliment to the spice and relative blandness of the squash and shrimp. I cut the butter by 1/3 and used ground cayenne pepper instead of flakes.

This is great. I changed some of the recipe to suit my tastes, but it is still great.
