Method
Roasting the Squash
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Pierce the squash with a fork and microwave on high for 2–3 minutes to soften.
- Cut the squash in half lengthwise, removing the seeds and pulp.
- Place the halves onto a baking sheet, skin-side down. Drizzle the flesh with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Flip the squash over and roast flesh-side down for 30–40 minutes or until soft.
Preparing the Creole Shrimp
- oss the shrimp with Cajun seasoning and refrigerate for 20–30 minutes.
- In a pot over medium-low heat, combine the butter, olive oil, chili sauce, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, garlic, parsley, and oregano.
- Simmer on low for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Add the chilled shrimp to the sauce. Increase heat to medium and cook until the shrimp are pink and opaque, about 5 minutes.
Assembly
- Flip the roasted squash halves over (flesh-side up).
- Use a fork to pull the spaghetti-like strands from the squash.
- Divide the shrimp into the squash "boats" and pour the remaining Creole sauce over the top.
- Garnish with additional fresh parsley and serve immediately.
