Easy Shrimp, Kale, and Butternut Squash Saute

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Shrimp, kale, and butternut squash saute is a 21 Day Fix approved dinner recipe that’s loaded with flavor! It’s a healthy, easy meal using simple ingredients to get dinner on the table in no time!

Confession #31- The PeaPod app has changed my life.

I have been a fan of grocery delivery services since I had my first child over five years ago.  But sometimes going online and assembling a grocery list in time for delivery is as difficult to fit in as going to the store.

Enter the app!  With literally a few clicks, my order is in and my delivery is scheduled.

What am I going to DO with all this free time?

That was a joke, obviously.

Anyway, this shrimp, kale, and butternut squash saute was inspired by this week’s delivery.  I actually ordered spaghetti squash, but received a butternut squash instead.

No biggie.  When life gives you butternut squash…

This is something I planned to try with sweet potatoes, but super happy to use a GREEN instead with this squash. Score!

    I just came across your recipe, it looked and sounded delicious so I thought I’d give it try with one change. I had sweet potato spiral noodles on hand and used that instead of the diced butternut squash. The results- absolutely delicious. This is a keeper! Thank you.

    Very easy and tasty! I had spinach instead of kale, which worked fine. Also, didn’t have raw red onion, but I did have some homemade marinated red onion, which I drained & cooked as directed and it added a really nice extra layer of flavor.
