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.
