Steps:

• 1. Place 2/3 of the scampi butter in a large saute pan over high heat and melt. Add in shrimp and cook for about 2 minutes, moving shrimp around in the pan. Sizzle with the white wine and cook until shrimp are opaque, only about another 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the remaining scampi butter, Asiago cheese, and avocado chunks. Serve over hot spaghetti squash and garnish with fresh arugula. From George Stella's Still Livin' Low Carb; A lifetime of Low Carb Recipes. These directions are for cooking the shrimp
• 2. Scampi butter directions: In a bowl, mix together all ingredients with a wire whisk, until well blended.
• 3. Spaghetti Squash: Slice squash in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds with a spoon as you would a pumpkin. Then completely submerge both halves in boiling water and cook for about 25 minutes, or until the inside is fork tender and pulls apart in strands (it is better to undercook if you are not sure). Remove, drain, and cool with cold water or an ice bath to stop the cooking. Then use a fork to scrape the cooked squash out of its skin; at the same time, fluff and separate the squash into spaghetti-like strands. Discard the skin. Note: You can reheat the squash strands by dipping them in boiling water with a strainer just before serving. Cook's note: Spaghetti squash may be used in any recipe that calls for pasta. It is great plain, with butter or with marinara sauce, scampi or even alfredo.

THE BEST SHRIMP SCAMPI

Steps:

• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in the skillet. Add half the shrimp and cook until golden pink, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer the shrimp to a bowl. Melt another tablespoon of the butter in the skillet and cook the remaining shrimp.
• Return the skillet to medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the butter and let it melt. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
• Stir in the wine and lemon juice. Increase the heat to high and boil the liquid until it thickens slightly, about 1 minute. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and the parsley. Add the shrimp back to the skillet and toss to coat with the sauce. Transfer to a serving dish and top with more chopped parsley. Serve with crusty bread or pasta.

SCAMPI BUTTER, STELLA STYLE

Steps:

• In a bowl, whisk together all ingredients until well blended. This takes time, but the softer the butter is, the shorter time you have to whisk ingredients.
• Spoon butter mixture onto a piece of plasticwrap. Form into a log about 2 inches around. Roll up like a big cigar. Twist the ends shut.
• This may be stored in the refrigerator for 1 week and will freeze for much longer.
• If frozen, just slice off the amount you desire to use in any recipe.
