Low Carb Creamed Shrimp & Spaghetti Squash

Low Carb Creamed Shrimp & Spaghetti SquashLow Carb Creamed Shrimp & Spaghetti Squash. One of the things I like about spaghetti squash (and there are many) is its versatility so here is another recipe using it. Here is another Creamed Chicken & Spaghetti Squash Bake and another Spaghetti Squash Carbonara and another Spaghetti Squash Pastitsio and another Stuffed Red Peppers I hope at least one of these trips your trigger. This meal is about all you need with the exception of a salad and maybe a very small dessert.

  3. Pulled chicken may be subbed for shrimp.
