Ingredients
- 16 jumbo shrimp, unpeeled, legs removed (about 1 3/4 pounds)
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon grated peeled ginger
- 1 teaspoon hot paprika
- Sea or kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1 lemon, thinly sliced
- 1 medium zucchini, cut into 2 1/2-by-1/2-inch sticks
- 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
- Toasted sourdough bread, for serving
Directions
Preheat the broiler. Use a sharp knife to make a slit through the shell along the back of each shrimp. Remove the vein, leaving the shell intact. Rinse and pat dry, then transfer to a large bowl.
Whisk 1/4 cup olive oil, the ginger, paprika, 2 teaspoons salt, and pepper to taste in a bowl. Add half of the dressing to the bowl with the shrimp and toss. Add the lemon and zucchini to the remaining dressing and toss, then spread on a large foil-lined baking sheet. Broil until the lemon and zucchini begin to brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the shrimp and broil until the shells are pink, about 3 minutes. Turn the shrimp, lemon and zucchini and broil 3 to 4 more minutes.
Whisk the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil, the parsley and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Divide the shrimp, lemon and zucchini among plates and drizzle with the parsley oil. Serve with bread.

We have made this recipe multiple times and it is soo good! When we've done it, we use both zucchini and yellow squash. I think what makes it work is that I taste test the mixture of seasonings before adding the veggies to make sure it has the right amount of salt and pepper, and then the little parsley dressing to serve it with is key also. It makes a great side if you put a few pieces of sourdough under the broiler just long enough to make them a little crusty and dip them in the olive oil/salt/parsley combo. Definitely recommended.

Sad to say that this one didn't work out for me. It seemed to have great potential but turned out bland. Could be a great recipe with some adjustments to the recipe. Maybe more ginger and something salty like soy.
