    I'm not sure what all the comments are when it seems that folks left out the spaghetti squash or left out the shrimp. What's up with that? This recipe is awesome! Follow the recipe...it's quick, simple, healthy if you substitue soy butter for regular butter and delicious! I came back to search for it again as I just Love it George! Thanks

    I had a couple of avocados to use before I went on a trip, so searched avocado and pasta & found this. Used pasta b/c spaghetti squash is unavailable in Sydney (transplanted NYer. Very tasty, flavours work really well together. Easy & delish! Can't wait to put it in the regular rotation with spaghetti squash. BTW, when I lived on LI, I would cut the spaghetti squash in half and microwave it til soft enough. If you scrape it out with a fork it will string up quite nicely. :

    I am always looking for tasty, easy dishes to prepare for weeknight dinners. And, this was exactly that. Something different from the ordinary, but super easy to execute. Loved it.

    The scampi butter was awesome, and the spaghetti squash gave the dish and fun and different texture. I added mushrooms in with the shrimp and also used cilantro instead of parsley (only because my husband mixed them up at the grocery store and brought me home cilantro instead. I'd do it that way again--but then, I love cilantro more than any other herb.

    I did have problems getting the spaghetti squash to be stringy and spaghetti-like. Mine was closer to...mush. It took away from the aesthetics, but the taste was still great. This was my first attempt at cooking spaghetti squash so I imagine I'll get better with practice. I think I'll try roasting it in the oven next time instead of boiling and see if that doesn't stack the deck in my favor....

    Highly recommend this one!!

    I've been making this one for years! It's now a standard in my house. My friends ask if I'm going to make it when they come over! I didn't have the squash last time so I used angel hair pasta instead...tasted perfect with it. Enjoy. Thx, Vikki

    A friend gave me a gazillion avocados..
    so I've been using the search tool and found this.

    Odd sounding, but okay, I'll try it.

    We ate the ENTIRE thing!

    So maybe not a healthy thing for us but quite yummy! Oh and yes, shaved Asiago

    great fresh flavor. Never would've thought to use avocado but it compliments the dish well. As a non- measure I just salted with sea salt to taste. Only change was pasta instead of spaghetti squash. FOR THE RECORD--you can not subsitute acorn squash for spaghetti squash...hence me using regular pasta-oops..LOL at myself

    Outstanding....reduce butter to 1/2 stick and add 3 oz. ICBINB or Mazola Sprays (next to no calories and save 400 calories and 40 grams of saturated fat....no discernable difference....I also add 50% more herbs/ vegetables/ cheese and spices,but absolutely not necessary...(except salt- definately use half or less.MY very favorite recipe on the food net. I also remove the tail from the shrimp...no need to hassle with the tail..... shredded asiago is definately better,,,and by all means don't substitute....fantastic
