What you need:
(click + to add ingredients to your shopping list)
+ 1 large (or 2 small) spaghetti squash
+ 1 Tbsp. olive oil
+ 1 yellow onion, peeled and chopped
+ 6 cloves garlic, peeled and
finely chopped
+ 4 tomatoes, coarsely chopped
+ 1 tsp. sugar
+ 1 tsp. coarse sea or kosher salt
+ 12 fresh basil leaves, cut into
thin strips
+ 8 dried whole chiles de árbol
+ 24 large raw Alabama Gulf shrimp,
peeled and deveined
+ 2 1/2 c. kale, chopped
What to do:
1. Pierce the squash with a large-pronged fork in several spots. Microwave the squash on high for 15 minutes, or until it feels soft to the touch. Let cool for 5 minutes. Cut the squash in half lengthwise; remove and discard seeds. With a fork, scrape spaghetti squash into a bowl and set aside.
2. In a large sauté pan, warm the oil on medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until the onions are clear and the garlic is slightly browned, about 6 minutes. Add tomatoes, sugar, and salt. Cover with a lid and cook for 10 minutes. Turn the heat to low, add the basil and chiles, and continue cooking for 8 to 10 minutes. Add shrimp, increase the heat to medium, and cook for 5 minutes. Add kale on top of the sauce mixture, cover the pan, and cook for 5 more minutes. The shrimp should be pink and the kale wilted.
3. Place 1 1/2 cups of the cooked spaghetti squash on the plate and top with the tomato/shrimp sauce.
