Instant Pot Garlic Herb Shrimp And Spaghetti Squash
Ingredients:
Spaghetti Squash
- 1 Spaghetti Squash
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil
- .25 tsp Sea Salt
- .125 tsp Ground Black Pepper
Garlic Herb Shrimp
- 1 lb Shrimp peeled and deveined
- 2 cloves Garlic minced or pressed
- 1 tsp Onion Powder
- 1 tsp Dried Parsley
- 1 tsp Dried Oregano
- 1 tsp Dried Basil
- .25 tsp Sea Salt
- .25 tsp Ground Black Pepper
- .25 c Parmesan Cheese fresh and grated
- 2 tbsp Fresh Parsley chopped
Instructions:
- Using a fork or knife, carefully poke holes along the middle of the squash.
- Microwave for 5 minutes so the squash softens and is easier to cut.
- Cut in half horizontally and scoop out the seeds. Drizzle olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Place in the Instant Pot and secure the lid until you hear the beep.
- Set the pressure knob on the top of the lid to Sealing. Select “Manual” and reduce to 7 minutes. It will say “On” in a few seconds. Note: the Instant Pot will need to warm up for 5-10 minutes. Steam will be released and a few minutes later, the time will start counting down.
- While the squash is cooking, prepare the shrimp. Place the shrimp in a bowl and add the minced garlic, onion powder, parsley, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Mix until combined. Refrigerate until ready to cook.
- Once the 7 minutes is up, let the squash rest in the pot for 5 minutes. It will count up and read “L 0:05”.
- Using a towel or mitt, release the pressure knob from “Sealing” to “Venting”. After the steam has been released, carefully take the squash out of the pot and let it rest in a bowl.
- Drain the excess liquid and clean the pot.
- To cook the shrimp, select “Saute” on the Instant Pot. Once it says “Hot”, add the oil. When the oil is shimmering, add the shrimp in a single layer (cook in batches if necessary). Cook for 3-5 minutes per side or until opaque.
- Press “Cancel” and remove the shrimp.
- Using a fork, shred the inside of the squash.
- Serve the spaghetti squash and shrimp together. If desired, top with parmesan cheese and fresh parsley.
