step 1

Prepare the ingredients

Fill a medium pot (or large for 4 servings) 3/4 of the way up with salted water; cover and heat to boiling on high. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Medium dice the zucchini. Cut off and discard the stem of the pepper(s). Halve lengthwise; remove the ribs and seeds, then medium dice. Roughly chop the dill. Peel 2 cloves of garlic (or 4 cloves for 4 servings); using a zester or the small side of a box grater, finely grate into a paste. Using a zester or the small side of a box grater, finely grate the lemon to get 2 teaspoons of zest (or 4 teaspoons for 4 servings). Quarter and deseed the lemon(s). Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels; place in a bowl. Add the lemon zest, as much of the garlic paste as you'd like, and a drizzle of olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Stir to combine. Set aside to marinate, stirring occasionally, at least 10 minutes.
