How To Make bay scallops scampi

  • 1
    - Place 2/3 of the scampi butter in a large saute pan over high heat and melt.
  • 2
    - Add in bay scallops and cook for about 1 minute, moving them around in the pan.
  • 3
    - Sizzle with the white wine and cook for just another minute more.
  • 4
    - Remove from heat and stir in the remaining scampi butter, Feta cheese, and avocado chunks.
  • 5
    - Serve over hot spaghetti squash and garnish with fresh arugula.
  • 6
    - Cut 1 large Spaghetti Squash in half the long ways.
  • 7
    - Remove seeds with a spoon.
  • 8
    - Place the 2 halves of squash, cut side down, on a sheet pan and add enough warm water to fill up about ½ inch on sides.
  • 9
    - Bake at 350 degrees for about 1 hour or until skin feels soft.
  • 10
    - Immediately remove from oven and flip the squash over, being careful because they will be hot, but you don’t want the squash to absorb the water on pan.
  • 11
    - Gently use a fork to separate the strands of spaghetti squash
