Ingredients:
1 lb shrimp: raw, deveined, shell and tail off
1 lemon
1 cup cooking white wine (zero carbs)
2 TBSP minced garlic
1/2 stick of butter
 1 Spaghetti Squash: cut in half, seeds scooped out.
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
Avocado or olive oil
S&P to taste
Parsley for sprinkling

Directions spaghetti squash:
Place 1 cup of water in Instant Pot. Place trivet in instant pot. Lightly oil the inside of the spaghetti squash with avocado oil and S&P. Place into Instant Pot. Close lid, (make sure your ring is in place). Set on Manual/Pressure to high, set time for 10 min. Let cook.

While spaghetti squash is going, time to make the scampi.

Shrimp Scampi directions:
Add 1/2 of the butter and some avocado oil to non-stick pan. Let melt and get bubbly. Add in the garlic and stir. Once garlic is aromatic and slightly browned add white wine and reduce a little, once reduced add lemon juice and shrimp. Cook shrimp until pink. Stirring to incorporate the sauce and shrimp. (About 5 min, at most). Shrimp cooks very quickly. Add in parmesan cheese and stir to incorporate. It helps thicken the sauce. Remove from heat. Set aside.

Once the spaghetti squash is done cooking remove from the Instant Pot with silicone mits or coverings, caution will be HOT! Take two forks and dish up on plates, one half of the spaghetti squash can feed about 4 people. Add butter and S&P to squash on plates, top with shrimp scampi sprinkle with parsley, enjoy!
