🍋 Juice of 1 lemon
Instructions
1- Prep the Squash:
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
- Place the spaghetti squash in the oven for about 10 minutes to make it easier to cut.
- Remove from the oven, increase the temperature to 350°F (175°C), and cut the squash in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds.
- Brush the insides with olive oil and sprinkle with black pepper.
- Place the squash halves cut-side down on a baking sheet and bake for 40 minutes.
2- Prepare the Seafood:
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter.
- Add crawfish, shrimp, and crabmeat to the skillet.
- Season with Old Bay, garlic powder, onion powder, and Sazon. Stir occasionally until the shrimp are opaque and fully cooked. Remove from heat and set aside.
3- Make the Sauce:
- In a separate saucepan over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter.
- Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
- Stir in Boursin cheese until melted, then add heavy cream.
- Season with lemon pepper, paprika, and thyme (if using). Stir until well combined and creamy.
4- Assemble the Dish:
- Using a fork, gently scrape the insides of the baked squash to create spaghetti-like strands.
- Pour the cheese sauce over the squash strands, evenly coating them.
- Top with the cooked seafood mix.
- Drizzle more sauce over the top, if desired.
5- Garnish and Serve:
- Garnish with a squeeze of lemon juice and sprinkle chopped parsley on top.
- Serve hot and enjoy this creamy seafood creation!
