instructions
1
Prepare & cook the squash
If you prefer to use an oven to roast the squash instead of a microwave, place an oven rack in the center of the oven; preheat to 450°F. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Using a sharp, sturdy knife, carefully halve the squash lengthwise. Using a spoon, scoop out and discard the pulp and seeds. Drizzle the cut sides with olive oil; season with salt and pepper.
Microwave or oven:
MICROWAVE: Working in two batches if necessary, transfer the prepared squash to a microwave-safe baking dish, cut side down. Fill with 1/2 inch of water. Microwave on high 3 to 5 minutes, or until the flesh easily pulls away from the skin.
OVEN: Line a sheet pan with parchment paper (or foil). Transfer the prepared squash to the sheet pan, cut side down. Roast 25 to 30 minutes, or until the skin is lightly browned and the flesh easily pulls away from the skin.
Transfer the cooked squash to a large bowl to cool slightly.

Prepare the remaining ingredients
Meanwhile, thinly slice the scallions, separating the white bottoms and hollow green tops. Cut off and discard the stem of the pepper; halve lengthwise. Remove the ribs and seeds, then thinly slice crosswise. Thoroughly wash your hands immediately after handling.
3
Separate & dress the squash strands
When cool enough to handle, using a fork, scrape the flesh of the cooked squash into the bowl. Discard the skins. Add the cilantro sauce; stir to thoroughly combine and separate any clumps. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Cover with foil to keep warm.
4
Cook the shrimp & serve your dish
Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels; remove the tails. In a medium pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the prepared shrimp, sliced white bottoms of the scallions, and sliced pepper in an even layer; season with salt and pepper. Cook, without stirring, 2 to 3 minutes, or until browned. Add the tomato paste and tomato chutney; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, 1 to 2 minutes, or until thoroughly combined. Add 1/2 cup of water (carefully, as the liquid may splatter); season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 minutes, or until the sauce is slightly thickened and the shrimp is cooked through. Turn off the heat. Stir in the butter until melted and combined. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Serve the dressed squash topped with the cooked shrimp and sauce. Garnish with the sliced green tops of the scallions. Enjoy!
