I’m obsessed with the Butter Flavored Olive Oil I bought from The Bodacious Olive.   Our popcorn movie nights have been #amazing.  And while brainstorming buttery dishes to make over, shrimp scampi was at the top of the list.

Someone needs a mani.

I originally thought about putting this over zoodles, but then I started thinking about baking this over spaghetti squash.
Not to brag, but that was a good move.  This was a fantastic combination.   My one year old was literally dancing between bites.
And the lemony marinade and infused oil added a delicious buttery flavor without tons of fat.
My mom always added a small amount of breadcrumb to our shrimp scampi, so I quickly made some Ezekiel breadcrumbs and they worked great.  You could easily leave this out, though, and this will still be full of melty, buttery goodness.

This spaghetti squash shrimp scampi is fancy looking enough for company!

Don’t tell them it’s healthy – they will never know.

    That scampi looks amazing! I so wish my hubby liked shrimp. I know it won’t be as good, but I may have to try with chicken breast pieces. Love how you used the spaghetti squash as pasta. Eating healthy can be delicious!

      You live near the Gulf and he doesn’t like shrimp? Such a shame :). Chicken would be awesome with this, as well! Hope you enjoy!

    This recipe was great. I just noticed it serves 3 people. There were four of us eating and we had about one serving left. We way under ate but it was still great.

    Really quite impressive. The flavors are scrumptious. Spaghetti squash can be bland, but you really jazzed it up with garlic and lemon. It is now a new favorite. Thanks for such a great recipe.
