Grilled Shrimp Salmoriglio

Salmoriglio is a simple Southern Italian sauce of olive oil, garlic, lemon and herbs often paired with seafood and meat. We start by creating a seasoned oil, some of which we toss with shrimp and vegetables that then are skewered and grilled; the remaining oil is brightened with lemon juice and parsley to make the salmoriglio to finish the dish. Zucchini or yellow summer squash pairs nicely with the briny shrimp, while scallions offer a mild allium punch. The skewers also can be broiled; they will not develop as much caramelization and charring as over a live fire, but the flavors still are fantastic.
