Anaheim Shrimp Scampi
- Scampi Butter, recipe follows
- 1 pound raw peeled and deveined 16 to 20 count shrimp, with tail on (recommended: tiger prawns)
- 1 tablespoon white wine
- 2 ounces Asiago cheese, cut into small chunks
- 1 avocado, large diced
- Spaghetti Squash, recipe follows
- Fresh arugula, for garnish
- 1/4 pound unsalted butter, softened
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons minced red onion
- 1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley leaves
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- Dash white pepper
- Dash Worcestershire sauce
- 1 lemon, juiced
- Place 2/3 of the scampi butter in a large saute pan over high heat and melt.
- Add in shrimp and cook for about 2 minutes, moving shrimp around in the pan.
- Sizzle with the white wine and cook until shrimp are opaque, only about another 2 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in the remaining scampi butter, Asiago cheese, and avocado chunks.
- Serve over hot spaghetti squash and garnish with fresh arugula.
- In a bowl with a wire whisk, mix together all ingredients until well blended.
- 1 medium spaghetti squash (about 3 pounds)
- Slice squash in half lengthwise.
- Scoop out the seeds with a spoon as you would a pumpkin.
- Then completely submerge both halves in boiling water and cook for about 25 minutes, or until the inside is tender to a fork and pulls apart in strands.
- (It is better to undercook if you are not sure).
- Remove, drain, and cool with cold water or an ice bath to stop the cooking.
- Then use a fork to scrape the cooked squash out of its skin, and at the same time, fluff and separate the squash into spaghetti-like strands.
- Discard the skin.
- You can reheat the squash strands by dipping with a strainer in boiling water just before serving.
- Cook's Note: Spaghetti squash may be used in any recipe that calls for pasta.
- It is great plain with butter or with marinara sauce, scampi, or even alfredo.
