GRILLED ZUCCHINI-WRAPPED SHRIMP
What a great way to eliminate the fatty bacon on barbecued shrimp recipes! After marinating the shrimp try adding liquid smoke to the marinade and brushing that onto the zucchini-wrapped shrimp to give it a nice flavor. The zucchini ribbons really keep the shrimp from drying out.. I found this recipe in Southern Living Magazine.

[email protected]I didn't have any feta cheese, so I used Parmesan cheese instead. It was still good, but I think feta cheese would have been better.

[email protected]These zucchini-wrapped shrimp were a bit too oily for my taste. I think I'll try grilling them next time instead of pan-frying them.
