How to Make Spaghetti With Grilled Shrimp Zucchini And Salsa Verde

  1. Combine 1/2 cup packed fresh parsley, 2 tablespoons capers, 2 cloves garlic, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon anchovy paste, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper in a food processor or blender.
  2. Pulse until finely chopped.
  3. With the motor running, slowly drizzle in 1/2 cup olive oil until a coarse puree forms.
  4. Set aside. Just before adding to the pasta, pulse briefly to re-emulsify.
  5. Preheat grill or broiler.
  6. Brush 2 medium zucchini, thinly sliced lengthwise, with 1 tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  7. Grill or broil zucchini, turning occasionally, until tender-crisp, about 10 minutes.
  8. Once cool enough to handle, cut zucchini crosswise into 1-inch pieces and place in a large bowl.
  9. Thread 1 pound large shrimp onto skewers.
  10. Brush shrimp with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle with remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  11. Grill or broil shrimp, turning once, until pink and cooked through, about 4 minutes.
  12. Remove shrimp from skewers, slice in half horizontally, and add to the bowl with zucchini.
  13. Meanwhile, cook 1 pound spaghetti in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente, about 12 minutes.
  14. Drain the spaghetti.
  15. Add the hot pasta to the bowl with the grilled zucchini and shrimp. Toss gently with the salsa verde until well combined.
  16. Serve immediately.
