SPAGHETTI WITH GRILLED SHRIMP, ZUCCHINI AND SALSA VERDE

Steps:

• Put the parsley, capers, garlic, lemon juice, anchovy paste, mustard, ½ teaspoon of the salt and the pepper into a food processor or blender. Pulse to chop.
• With the machine running, add the ½ cup oil in a thin stream to make a coarse puree.
• Set aside. Pulse to re-emulsify just before adding to the pasta.
• Light the grill or heat the broiler. Brush the zucchini with 1 tablespoon of the oil and sprinkle with ¼ teaspoon of the salt.
• Grill or broil the zucchini, turning, until just done, about 10 minutes.
• When the slices are cool enough to handle, cut them crosswise into ½ inch pieces and put them in a large bowl.
• Thread the shrimp onto skewers.
• Brush the shrimp with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and sprinkle with the remaining salt.
• Grill or broil the shrimp, turning, until just done, about 4 minutes. Remove the shrimp from the skewers and slice them in half horizontally, and add them to the zucchini.
• Meanwhile, in a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the spaghetti until just done, about 12 minutes. Drain.
• Add the pasta to the gilled zucchini and shrimp and toss with the salsa verde.
