SHRIMP SALAD WITH ZUCCHINI AND BASIL
Was checking out an old Bon Appetite annual while thinning out my "Paper and Picture" cookbooks, since I most often use Zaar. The zukes are still coming and the basil is lush, green, aromatic, and beautiful. Everything here is on our go-to list, and the photo was tempting, too. It was suggested that you use packaged baby greens for a quick start.

LEMON ZUCCHINI SPAGHETTI WITH SHRIMP
We just love our zucchini pasta at home. I go every Sunday to our farmers market and stock up! Today I even had some leftover fresh spinach from the week and decided to add it in as well. You can omit, but if you have spinach or any other leftover veggies, go ahead and add them in! Enjoy.

Tips:
- Prep Ahead: Save time by prepping the shrimp, zucchini, and basil ahead of time. Store them separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator until ready to use.
- Choose the Right Shrimp: Opt for large or extra-large shrimp for a more substantial bite. If using frozen shrimp, thaw them thoroughly before cooking.
- Cook the Shrimp Perfectly: To prevent overcooking, cook the shrimp until they turn opaque and slightly pink. Overcooked shrimp become tough and rubbery.
- Marinate the Shrimp: Enhance the flavor of the shrimp by marinating them in a mixture of lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, and herbs before cooking. This adds a delicious tang and keeps the shrimp moist.
- Shave the Zucchini: Use a vegetable peeler or mandoline to create thin, ribbon-like zucchini slices for the salad. This adds a delicate texture and makes the salad more visually appealing.
- Make the Dressing: Whisk together a simple dressing of lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Adjust the proportions to taste.
- Assemble the Salad: Combine the shrimp, zucchini, basil, and dressing in a large bowl. Toss to coat evenly.
