10 large shrimp in shell (21 to 25 per pounds), peeled and deveined
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
2 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 pound zucchini (1 medium), cut lengthwise into 2- by 1/4-inch sticks

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste. I think it would be better with a lighter sauce.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think it needed more seasoning.
