  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon garlic
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley
  • Salt and black pepper
  • 3 zucchini, unpeeled, cut on the diagonal into long ½-inch thick slices
  • 8 to 10 frozen medium shrimp, thawed, peeled and deveined
  • ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese
Instructions
  1. Coat a grill rack or grill pan with nonstick cooking spray or rub with an oil-soaked paper towel. Preheat the grill to medium.
  2. In a large, shallow dish, combine the oil, garlic, lemon juice, parsley and season with salt and pepper to taste. Add the zucchini slices; turn to coat on both sides.
  3. Place the zucchini on the grill; cook for 5 minutes per side or until lightly browned and cooked through.
  4. Meanwhile, toss the shrimp with the marinade remaining in the bowl. Grill the shrimp with the feta. Serve warm or at room temperature.
