I love this recipe because it’s a combination of two of my favorite recipes, Chili Cilantro Lime Shrimp and Green Chili Avocado Sauce, combined with my favorite squash, spaghetti! I altered the two recipes slightly to make them Whole30 compliant and the result was delicious!

Since I began creating Whole30 recipes last month to share for “Whole30 March”, I’ve realized that sauces and marinades are king. With slight alterations, you can make your favorite sauces and marinades Whole30 compliant and they really kick up the flavor of the recipes.

For the cilantro lime shrimp marinade, I swapped the soy sauce for Coco Aminos and left out the brown sugar. The shrimp still had amazing flavor and was now Whole30 compliant!

You can easily whip up the sauce and shrimp while the spaghetti squash is roasting for a deliciously easy meal. To make this meal even faster, you can cook the spaghetti squash in the microwave or in the air fryer, using this handy guide for how to cook spaghetti squash.

With this recipe, you’ll have extra green chili avocado sauce. You can either cut the recipe down, or use it on other dishes throughout the week. It’s amazing on grilled chicken or steak!
