Paleo Pad Thai

So I didn't have the particular ingredients I wanted to use to make this dish therefore I improvised with what I had in my kitchen, which turned out amazing!

Ingredients
1 organic spaghetti squash
2 small heads organic broccoli
1/2 C garden peas
1 lb shrimp
3 organic chicken breasts
2 stalks organic celery
1 yellow bell pepper
1/2 red organic red onion
1/2 carton beef broth

Seasonings
Chinese seasoning
onion powder
garlic powder
ground ginger (ginger powder)
Indian seasoning
red pepper flakes
black pepper
cilantro (fresh preferred)

Sauce
1 packet Justin's peanut butter (I know not paleo but you can sub almond butter)
1-2 Tbsp Tahini
1 Tbsp Coconut Oil (curry flavored)
2 small cans full fat coconut milk (5.46 oz)
1/4-1/2 C Coconut milk creamer (plain)
Dash white rice vinegar
Dash ume plum vinegar
3 dashes gluten free soy sauce (more if needed for flavor)

Directions
Preheat oven to 375-400 (pending altitude)
Bake squash

Cook chicken in crock pot in beef broth for approximately 6 hours (or until you can shred with fork)
Sprinkle Chinese seasoning and garlic powder on chicken

Thaw and remove tails from shrimp.

Spray olive oil and garlic powder on broccoli and steam.  Remove from heat just prior to being done. (should be a little too crisp at this point).

In large pan, heat 1 Tbsp coconut oil.  Saute onion and bell pepper.  Before cooked completely, toss in shrimp and stir until cooked.  Add broccoli, celery, peas, and shredded chicken (from crockpot).
Add remaining seasonings and sauce mixture from above.  Let simmer for 10 minutes.

Shred squash and add into pan then mix all ingredients together.  Simmer for about 10-15 minutes or until all flavors meld.

Enjoy!
