New for 2012!

Ingredients:

6 tablespoons Scampi Butter (see recipe here)
1 small spaghetti squash
1 pound (16 to 20 count) peeled and deveined raw shrimp, with tail on
1 tablespoon dry white wine
2 ounces crumbled Asiago cheese
1 avocado, peeled and chopped
Fresh arugula leaves, for garnish

Directions:

1. Prepare the Scampi Butter according to the recipe's directions.

2. Cut the squash in half lengthwise and scoop out all seeds.

3. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Completely submerge the squash halves in the boiling water and cook for 20 to 25 minutes, until a fork can easily pull the squash into strands.

4. Drain and run cold water over the squash to stop the cooking process. Use a fork to scrape the cooked squash out of its rind, fluffing and separating the pulp into spaghetti-like strands.

5. Place 4 tablespoons of the Scampi Butter in a large sauté pan over high heat until melted.

6. Add the shrimp and cook for about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.

7. Add the white wine, which will sizzle in the pan, and cook until the shrimp are opaque, about another 2 minutes.

8. Microwave the strands of spaghetti squash for 30 seconds, just until reheated.

9. Remove shrimp from heat and stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons Scampi Butter, the Asiago cheese, and avocado. Serve over the hot spaghetti squash, garnished with fresh arugula.
