Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Place squash halves cut side down on a baking sheet. Bake for 30-40 minutes until tender.
While squash is baking, peel and devein shrimp. Set aside.

In a small bowl, whisk together coconut flour and coconut aminos to make a slurry. Slowly add this to the skillet to thicken the sauce.
Once spaghetti squash is cool enough to handle, use a fork to scrape out the strands into a large serving bowl.
