Brown butter and lemon Spaghetti Squash with Shrimp

This is a simple, delicious dish. 

1 spaghetti squash
3 tbsp butter
1 onion, chopped
2 gloves garlic, chopped
1 lemon, zested and juiced
16 shrimp peeled and deveined
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
2-4 tbsp fresh Parmesan, optional

Slice a spaghetti squash in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds, place cut side down on plate and in the microwave it goes. About 8 - 12 minutes depending on your microwave. Cook until the squash flesh separates easily into strands with a fork. 

Meanwhile, place butter in a frying pan at medium heat and add the chopped onion and garlic. Cook until onion is soft and translucent and the butter is starting to brown. Add the lemon zest and lemon juice. Add the shrimp and cook until shrimp are pink and cooked through (about 5 minutes depending on your shrimp). Toss in the cooked spaghetti squash, parsley and Parmesan cheese. Mix until "spaghetti" is coated with sauce and enjoy!
