How to Make Anaheim Shrimp Scampi

  1. In a medium bowl, combine 4 tablespoons of butter, 2 minced cloves garlic, 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Mix well.
  2. Place about 2/3 of the seasoned butter mixture in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Melt the butter completely.
  3. Add 1 pound of shrimp to the pan and sauté for about 2 minutes per side, until pink and opaque.
  4. Add 1/4 cup dry white wine to the pan and cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the sauce to slightly reduce.
  5. Remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside.
  6. Add the remaining seasoned butter mixture to the pan. Stir in 1/2 cup shredded Asiago cheese and 1/2 cup diced avocado. Cook until the cheese is melted and the sauce is slightly thickened.
  7. Gently toss the cooked shrimp into the creamy avocado-Asiago sauce. Serve immediately over hot spaghetti squash strands (approximately 2 cups cooked spaghetti squash).
