Spaghetti Squash Seafood Alfredo

• 2 spaghetti squash, halved and seeded
• 4 tablespoons avocado oil, divided
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 1/2 cup butter (such as Kerrygold(R))
• 2 cups half-and-half
• 2 tablespoons paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
• 1 1/2 cups finely grated Parmesan cheese
• 3 cups fresh prawns
• 1 cup chopped shiitake mushrooms
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/8 cup chopped fresh parsley

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Brush squash halves with 1 tablespoon avocado oil and season with salt and pepper. Place face-down on a baking sheet.
3. Bake in the preheated oven until tender, 35 to 40 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in half-and-half, paprika, salt, and pepper. Heat slowly to a light boil, about 4 minutes. Add Parmesan cheese and stir until blended, about 1 minute. Remove sauce from heat.
5. Heat remaining avocado oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add prawns, mushrooms, and garlic. Cook until prawns are nearly opaque, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain any accumulated liquid and pour sauce over prawns. Stir in parsley and simmer on low heat until fully but not overcooked, 3 to 5 minutes more.
6. Scrape flesh from cooked squash into a serving plate. Top with seafood Alfredo sauce.
