Servings: 4
Prep Time: 10 Minutes
Cook Time: 10 Minutes

Tools you may Need:

• Knife Set
• Pyrex Dish
• Cutting Board

Ingredients:

• 1 Lb of Shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 Spaghetti Squash or zucchini noodles or sweet potato pasta noodles*
• 1/2 Red Onion, diced
• 1/2 Cup White Wine
• 3 Cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 Cup Ghee
• 1 Tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
• Salt and Pepper to taste
• 1 Lemon, quartered

Process:

1. First step is to cook your spaghetti squash, you can either bake it or microwave it.  I microwaved mine, cut in half and scrape all the seeds out, place face down in a baking dish with some coconut oil and cover with plastic wrap.  Microwave on high for about 10 minutes or you can pierce the outside with a fork.  Set aside and let cool, then shred with a fork to make spaghetti.
2. Place your shrimp in the bottom of a pyrex baking dish.
3. Sprinkle your onion, garlic, ghee and parsley over the top of your shrimp
4. Season with salt and pepper and then pour your white wine over everything
5. Set your broiler on high in the oven and place your baking dish 6 inches below
6. Broil for 5 minutes then take out, flip shrimp and broil for another 5 minutes
7. Remove from oven, plate some spaghetti squash and use your shrimp scampi as a sauce.  Sprinkle with some fresh squeezed lemon juice
8. Enjoy

 *Sweet Potato Pasta

• 2 Medium Sweet Potatoes or Yams, long in shape
• 2 Tbsp Grass fed butter, I used salted
• Sea Salt for taste

Process:

1. Wash your sweet potatoes under cold water and then peel
2. Once peeled, CAREFULLY using your Mandoline, slice your sweet potato lengthwise into thin strips
3. Once sliced, use a knife and cut them to about 1/4 inch thickness and set aside
4. Melt your butter in a large state pan over medium heat and add in all of your sweet potato “noodles”
5. Continually stir and cook until the sweet potatoes are cooked through to your liking, about 5 minutes for me
6. Transfer to a plate and top with shrimp and enjoy.
