  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic 
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander

  3. Add garlic, coriander, cumin, 1/4 teaspoon salt and cayenne; cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. 
  4. Add wine and bring to a simmer. 
  5. Add shrimp and cook, stirring, until the shrimp are pink and just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. 
  6. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice. 
  7. Use a fork to scrape the squash from the shells into a medium bowl. 
  8. Add cilantro, butter, pepper and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt; stir to combine. Serve the shrimp over the spaghetti squash with a lemon wedge on the side.
