GARLIC SHRIMP BROCHETTES
This garlicky green sauce is a good match for shrimp, which are threaded onto skewers and grilled - preferably outdoors, over hot coals, though this recipe also works fine on a stovetop in a cast-iron pan, or under the broiler. The resulting brochettes, which are small (about 2 ounces each), are perfect party food. Threading each piece of meat onto two skewers, rather than one, keeps the meat from twirling and makes it easier to grill. (If you're using bamboo skewers, soak them in warm water for 15 minutes, so they won't catch fire.)

Steps:
- Season shrimp lightly on both sides with salt and pepper.
- To skewer, lay shrimp flat on cutting board. Thread shrimp onto two skewers spaced equidistant from center; do this first with one skewer, then the other. Put two or three shrimp onto each set of skewers, for eight brochettes total.
- In a blender or food processor, put 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, the garlic, the basil, the parsley, the red pepper and the zest. Pulse to coarsely grind ingredients. Add oil; blend to a rough sauce.
- Lay brochettes on a tray in one layer. Spoon 8 tablespoons green mixture over shrimp and spread to cover evenly. (Save remaining sauce.) Leave at room temperature for 1 hour, or refrigerate several hours, then bring to room temperature.
- Grill brochettes over medium-hot fire for about 3 minutes per side. Serve with lemon wedges and reserved green sauce.
