This is from my Food and Wine One Dish meals cookbook. They say to serve this with Sauvignon blanc, especially one from Frances Loire Valley. Looks like a fabulous summer recipe.

Steps:
- 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.

GRILLED SHRIMP WITH SALSA VERDE
The sauce in this recipe is ubiquitous along Italy's western coast, where I ate it spooned over a thinly sliced fish steak titled Pesce Spada alla Griglia. It is best enjoyed when the freshest seafood and produce are available. The sauce can be made in advance and the shrimp broiled or grilled just before the meal. From the book "Lucinda's Rustic Italian Kitchen," by Lucinda Scala Quinn (Wiley).

Steps:
- Mince together the garlic, capers, and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, and place in a small bowl. Stir in the mint, parsley, olive oil, lemon juice, and red-wine vinegar.
- Preheat the broiler or prepare a grill. Butterfly the shrimp by slicing down the center of each, lengthwise, almost but not completely through. Open both sides to lay flat. Season with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and the pepper. Broil or grill for 2 minutes per side. Place 4 shrimp on each plate and spoon some of the sauce over them. Serve with lemon.

Steps:
- Soak 20 wooden skewers in enough water to cover for 30 minutes (prevents skewers from burning on the grill).
- Make the salsa verde: puree all the ingredients, except the shrimp, in a blender or food processor until smooth and set aside.
- This can be make ahead and covered and kept in the refrigerator overnight-remove from the refrigerator 30 minutes before grilling.
- Thread 3 shrimp through the head on one skewer and with a second skewer thread through the tail, repeat for all the shrimp.
- This method of 2 skewers keeps the shrimp from spinning when turning on the grill.
- Brush both sides of skewers with the salsa verde, can be assembled up to 4 hours ahead if kept refrigerated.
- Prepare grill and cook 2-4 minutes per side until shrimp turn pink and are lightly charred.
- Turn to grill 2-4 minutes more.

SPAGHETTI WITH GRILLED SHRIMP, ZUCCHINI AND SALSA VERDE
Summer is the perfect time for this colorful pasta -- zucchini is in abundance, and recipes that make good use of the outdoor grill are in demand. Both the squash and the shrimp here take their turn on the coals before being tossed with the spaghetti. If you crave the dish in the winter, cook the zucchini and shrimp in the broiler.

Steps:
- Put the parsley, capers, garlic, lemon juice, anchovy paste, mustard, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, and the pepper into a food processor or blender. Pulse just to chop, six to eight times. With the machine running, add the 1/2 cup oil in a thin stream to make a coarse puree. Leave this salsa verde in the food processor; if necessary, 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 1/4 teaspoon of the salt. Grill or broil the zucchini, turning, until just done, about 10 minutes in all. When the slices are cool enough to handle, cut them crosswise into 1/2-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 1/2 teaspoon salt. Grill or broil the shrimp, turning, until just done, about 4 minutes in all. Remove the shrimp from the skewers, 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 grilled zucchini and shrimp and toss with the salsa verde.
