Keep a bag of large frozen shrimp on hand for this quick and easy meal ready in under 20 minutes. The browning of the zucchini brings out a hint of sweetness and a lot of roasted flavor while the quick sauté of shrimp and tomatoes creates a delicious sauce that flavors the entire dish. Serve this over some steamed rice or a favorite pasta to maximized the juices or atop some grilled slices of sourdough for a fork-and-knife sandwich. Try this with fresh basil instead of, or in addition to, the oregano. Grate some lemon zest over top and/or sprinkle with fresh lemon juice to add a brightening zing.
