Perfect dinner for two served with fresh-cut watermelon, sprinkled with mint flakes.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

This shrimp and spaghetti squash is a quick and easy meal. The delicate shrimp are a tasty compliment to the buttery spaghetti squash. Fresh onions, bell pepper, and garlic add tons of flavor. We also added an extra sprinkle of Old Bay seasoning and it was delicious. It's a healthier weeknight dinner your family will love.
