directions

  • Put the parsley, capers, garlic, lemon juice, anchovy paste, mustard, ½ teaspoon of the salt and the pepper into a food processor or blender. Pulse to chop.
  • With the machine running, add the ½ cup oil in a thin stream to make a coarse puree.
  • Set aside. Pulse to re-emulsify just before adding to the pasta.
  • Light the grill or heat the broiler. Brush the zucchini with 1 tablespoon of the oil and sprinkle with ¼ teaspoon of the salt.
  • Grill or broil the zucchini, turning, until just done, about 10 minutes.
  • When the slices are cool enough to handle, cut them crosswise into ½ inch pieces and put them in a large bowl.
  • Thread the shrimp onto skewers.
  • Brush the shrimp with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and sprinkle with the remaining salt.
  • Grill or broil the shrimp, turning, until just done, about 4 minutes. Remove the shrimp from the skewers and slice them in half horizontally, and add them to the zucchini.
  • Meanwhile, in a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the spaghetti until just done, about 12 minutes. Drain.
  • Add the pasta to the gilled zucchini and shrimp and toss with the salsa verde.

  1. This recipe is delicious! The Italian-style salsa verde gives the pasta a pleasant burst of fresh flavors and complements the shrimp and zucchini amazingly. A perfect summer dinner, all on one plate!

<p>My rating system: (I don't like giving bad reviews, so if I don't like it, I'll just not review it.) <br /><br />5 Stars OMG, this is one of the most amazing things I've ever eaten! I can't stop eating it, and I've eaten myself into a food coma. <br /><br />4 Stars The recipe is wonderful as is. I can't think of a single improvement and I will most likely make it again. <br /><br />3 Stars This needed a little *something*something*. I might make it again, but will add my own improvements if I do. <br /><br />I love to eat! And I love to cook. I tend to take over the kitchen when I get in there. Even the dog knows the command get outta my kitchen! LOL. Cooking for other people and trying new recipes or foods is FUN! I have a small (but growing quickly!!) cookbook collection and one of my favorite things to do is to read recipes and plan meals. Rachael Ray, Horn of the Moon and Moosewood are favorites of mine. <br /><br />We spend a lot of time outdoors camping, hiking and backpacking. Yup. I cook in the woods too! I've made deals with my hiking buddies... If they carry in my food, I'll cook for them. I recently published a backpacking cookbook.
