Skinny Spaghetti Squash Shrimp Scampi

Spaghetti squash can be a very intimidating, big yellow looking thing in the produce section. Next time you see one in season, buy it and try it. The result is very rewarding. This carb friendly, gluten free recipe is delectable and super easy to whip up. After cooking the squash and forking it out, simply top it with these succulent shrimp cooked with a little ghee, onion, and garlic. You can even serve it back inside the squash and call it a "boat"!

• 2-3 tbsp ghee
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 small onion, diced
• 1/2 cup fresh parsley
• 1/2 tsp Himalayan salt
