Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 375°F. Season cut sides of squash with salt and pepper. Place, cut side down, in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Add the water and bake until tender when pierced with a sharp paring knife, about 45 minutes. Let cool.
Step 2
Meanwhile, on a rimmed baking sheet, toss shrimp with 1 teaspoon oil; season with salt and pepper. Roast until opaque throughout, 8 to 10 minutes.
Step 3
Scoop out seeds from squash and discard. With a fork, scrape flesh into a large bowl. Add shrimp and any cooking juices, lemon juice, and remaining tablespoon oil; toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper, top with parsley, and serve with lemon wedges.
