Recipe for Sautéed Zucchini with Shrimp

Wash the zucchinis and cut them lengthwise. Slice into half-moons about half an inch thick. If you cut them thinner, they will be more tender when cooked. I usually combine different thicknesses to achieve a range of textures. Chop the garlic very finely.

Rinse the shrimp. Heat some oil and cook the frozen shrimp over high heat. Sauté until they start to brown and season with a little salt and pepper. Set aside on a plate.

To finish, heat a little oil and add the zucchini, stirring over high heat until it gets some color. Lower the heat slightly and sauté for a few minutes, stirring continuously. Reincorporate the shrimp when the vegetable is almost cooked. Add the dill, minced garlic, and mix well. Serve freshly prepared with a little lemon juice, a bit of pepper, and chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
