Spaghetti Squash with Lemon Garlic Shrimp

I love spaghetti squash! There are endless ways to serve it, delicious on its own or served up with something saucy.

For this dish I had a little help from Chef Lynn Crawford and her savoury recipes for Shrimp with Sauce made for Waterview Market. Now you may assume as a food blogger I am always making things from scratch, but even I need a break and this is when I use  great quality ready-made products. Waterview Market has six varieties of Shrimp with Sauce and they are all exceptional!  I used the Lemon & Garlic Shrimp and served it with a tasty oven baked spaghetti squash. Serving this dish in the spaghetti squash shell made a lovely presentation.

Baked spaghetti squash is so easy to make. Simply cut squash in half, scoop out the seeds, rub the inside with a bit of olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper and bake. Spaghetti squash is the perfect companion for meat sauce, marinara sauce, curries or any kind of savoury sauce. I also enjoy spaghetti squash served very simple with salt, pepper and a pat of butter.

Chef Lynn Crawford is one of my favourite chefs and I must say these recipes for  Waterview Market’s  Shrimp with Sauce are exceptional. I love that the sauce is packaged separately and added to the shrimp after it is cooked. This helps to maintain the great texture and flavour of the shrimp, preventing it from becoming that tough rubbery shrimp you often get in pre-packaged meals.
