Ingredients:

Scampi:

6 Tbsp butter, divided

1 pound large shrimp (about 40 shrimp); fresh, peeled, deveined & rinsed

1 large shallots, diced

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup dry white wine

1/2 cup chicken broth

1/2 cup heavy whipping cream

2 tablespoons capers

1 teaspoon Slap Ya Mama White Pepper Blend Seasoning for the shrimp

1 tablespoon Slap Ya Mama White Pepper Blend Seasoning for the sauce

¼ teaspoon cayenne

1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Spaghetti Squash:

1 Medium sized spaghetti Squash

Coconut oil for basting

Salt and Pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400. Cut the spaghetti Squash in half lengthwise.  Scoop out the seeds.  Baste with coconut oil and season with salt and pepper.  Place face down on a sheet pan lined with aluminum foil. Cook for 40 minutes. Using a fork, shred squash meat into a large bowl and set aside.

2. In a large cast iron skillet, melt 1 Tbsp of butter over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and 1 tsp of Slap Ya Mama Original Blend Seasoning and cook until shrimp are pink and firm, about 5 minutes. Remove shrimp and set aside.

3. In the same skillet, add 1 Tbsp of butter over medium-high heat. Add shallots and garlic, sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add white wine and chicken broth, increase heat to high. Bring to a boil and let boil until liquid is reduced by two-thirds. Reduce heat to medium-low.

Stir in remaining 4 Tbsp of butter, cream, capers, cayenne and 1 Tbsp of Slap Ya Mama Hot Blend Seasoning. Cook until butter is completely melted. Stir in shrimp.

Serve with squash and garnish with parsley.
