Grilled Mediterranean Zucchini Ribbons

"From Weekend Magazine. It is imperative to make this recipe in summer when the best quality zucchini is available either from your garden or from the farmers' market. I cannot be responsible for the outcome of this recipe if prepared out of season. I think I'm going to go take a nap now."
