This Creole Stuffed Spaghetti Squash is an incredibly flavorful meal that is both Whole30 and Low Carb! The roasted squash is the perfect vehicle for this spicy and delicious dish. Sweet and delicate shrimp, spiced sausage and aromatic veggies make this meal irresistible.
Creole seasonings have been a favorite of mine for a long time. You can develop so much flavor in a short amount of time. It is a great way to enjoy eating healthy because it tastes like you are enjoying your favorite comfort foods.
I use andouille sausage in this recipe, if you are doing a round of Whole30, be sure to check the labels for added sugars or additives. If you can't find a compliant andouille, smoked sausage also works incredibly well in this stuffed squash. I got my wild caught shrimp from ButcherBox, it is my favorite place to get the best quality meats and seafood and it gets delivered right to my front door!
The base for this stuffed spaghetti squash is obviously the squash! Read my post on how to roast spaghetti squash to get perfect al dente 'noodle strands'. The roasting adds flavor and you get perfectly cooked squash every time.
Peppers, onions, garlic and fire roasted tomatoes make up the 'sauce' for this recipe. The browned sausage and shrimp gets stirred in and then it all gets tossed with the strands of spaghetti squash. It is a delicious and comforting meal that is packed with delectable goodness.
