A easy fresh recipe. For HCG, sub the butter & oil for chicken broth. Love cooking spaghetti squash this way. Its a light and tasty recipe!

• 1 whole spaghetti squash, Cut in 1 inch rings (seeds removed)
• extra virgin olive oil spray
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, or 1 tablespoon ghee

3. While the spaghetti squash is cooling, make shrimp scampi. In a large skillet, melt butter with tablespoon olive oil. Sauté garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
4. Add lemon juice. Simmer for 2 minutes then add shrimp and sauté for 3-4 minutes. Season with additional salt, pepper and onion powder. Careful not to overcook the shrimp.
