Cooking Tips

  • To ensure even cooking, make sure the shrimp are similar in size.
  • If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent them from burning.
  • You can add additional vegetables, such as cherry tomatoes or bell peppers, to the skewers for added flavor and color.

Storage and Serving

  • This dish is best served immediately after cooking to enjoy the freshness and texture of the shrimp.
  • If you have leftovers, store the shrimp and spaghetti squash separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator.
  • Reheat the shrimp in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through, and reheat the spaghetti squash in the microwave or oven.
  • Serve the reheated shrimp over the reheated spaghetti squash, garnish with fresh herbs, and enjoy.
