Seafood Dinner =) Nom!

Couple quick ideas for you to put together a beautiful dinner (don't judge it by the picture!) with minimal effort!
For this particular meal you will need:

Your favorite white fish (or salmon)
1 medium yellow onion
1 lemon
3 or 4 cloves of garlic
1 medium spaghetti squash
1 lb shelled and deveined shrimp
1 cucumber
1 brick of cream cheese (NOT cream cheese substitute or I can't believe it's not cream cheese...)
1 packet of Nori (should be in the Asian food aisle of your grocer)
1/2 lb crab meat
1 avocado
No less than 1 stick of butter
salt, pepper, and OPTIONAL dill (I hate dill =/)




Preheat oven to 350 and halve and seed your squash.
Add about 1/2 inch of salted water to a casserole dish and place squash cut side down in oven.
Let it hang out for about 30 minutes or until a fork easily pierces the skin.

Meanwhile place one slice of lemon and one slice of onion on a small square of foil. Place one piece of whitefish on your lemon and salt, pepper, and lemon the top of it. Add 2 or 3 pats of butter to the top and carefully fold foil over to make little steam packets. Throw in the oven when your squash has been hanging out for 10 of it's 30 minutes (Which will make the cooking time on your fish about 20 minutes, check that fish is firm but pull before it gets dry)

While everything bakes... On 1 sheet of nori, place a thin line of crab meat, cucumber, avocado, and cream cheese.
Carefully roll and set aside.
When you're ready, slice and serve beside the rest of your beautiful dish...
For extra points, buy powdered wasabi and mix a fresh batch to serve with your cali roll ;)

Add butter to a heated skillet and throw your shrimp in with garlic, onion, salt, pepper, and parsley. Toss until lightly browned on top.

Shred your squash and serve shrimp scampi style on top.
Carefully remove your fish and serve beside scampi.
Open a beautiful bottle of white wine and toast your fabulosity <3
