GRILLED PRAWNS WITH CAPER TZATZIKI

Steps:

• Preheat a stove top grill pan to high heat.
• In a small bowl, stir together the yogurt, capers, shallots, and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Let stand to allow flavors to mingle.
• Cut a deep slit about 1/2-inch long in the bottom third of the shrimp, without cutting all the way through. This will allow the shrimp to butterfly open at the ends as they cook. Toss the prawns with oil and season well with salt and pepper. Grill the shrimp, turning once, until bright pink and just cooked through, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes per side.
• To serve, put a dollop of yogurt sauce on a serving plate; stand the shrimp upright with their tails touching around the yogurt. These are terrific with a small salad, rice, or pasta on the side.

Roast until fish is just cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Remove pan from oven and add remaining anchovy butter to pan to melt. Place salmon on plates and spoon buttery pan sauce over the top. Squeeze the lemon half over the salmon and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve.

Once the garlic begins to sizzle, add the sliced zucchini, and cook until it begins to soften, about 3 minutes. Stir in the grape tomatoes, and continue cooking until the zucchini is tender, and the skins of the tomatoes begin to pop, 5 minutes more.
• Sprinkle the vegetable mixture with oregano and basil, then stir in shrimp. Cook until the shrimp turn pink and are no longer translucent. Pour over bucatini to serve.

SHRIMP IN ANCHOVY SAUCE

Steps:

• 1 Peel the shrimp, leaving the tail sections intact. With a small knife, slit the shrimp lengthwise along the back, cutting almost all the way through to the other side. Remove the dark vein and open the shrimp flat like a book. Rinse the shrimp and pat dry. 2 Place a barbecue grill or broiler rack about 5 inches away from the heat source. Preheat the grill or broiler. In a large broiler-safe skillet, melt the butter with the olive oil over medium heat. When the butter foam subsides, add the parsley, garlic, and anchovies and cook, stirring 1 minute. Add the wine and lemon juice and cook 1 minute more. 3 Remove the skillet from the heat. Add the shrimp cut-sides down. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Spoon some of the sauce over the shrimp. 4 Run the pan under the broiler and cook about 3 minutes or until the shrimp are just opaque.
