Ingredients:

For 4 servings

¾ pound bacon, sliced 1/4 inch thick and cut crosswise into 1 1/2-inch squares
3 tablespoons coarsely chopped basil
1 large garlic clove, minced
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
4 servings Salt and freshly ground pepper
1½ pounds shrimp, shelled and deveined
5 ounces medium zucchini , halved lengthwise, then sliced lengthwise 1/4 inch thick

Method:

1
In a bowl, combine the basil with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and the garlic. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
2
Add the shrimp and turn to coat.
3
In a shallow bowl, generously brush the zucchini slices on both sides with olive oil and season with salt and pepper; let stand for 5 minutes to soften.
4
In a skillet, cook the bacon over moderate heat until lightly browned, about 2 minutes per side.
5
Drain.
6
Working at the tip of a 12-inch skewer, pierce the very end of a zucchini slice. Swing the zucchini to the side and skewer a shrimp, then loop the zucchini slice around the shrimp and pierce the zucchini slice to secure it around the shrimp.
7
Add another shrimp, wrap the rest of the zucchini slice around it and secure it on the skewer.
8
Add a bacon square. Repeat the threading, using 2 more zucchini slices, 4 more shrimp and 2 more bacon squares. Thread the remaining ingredients to make 8 skewers.
9
Light a grill or preheat a grill pan. Oil the grill and grill 4 skewers at a time over high heat for about 2 minutes per side, or just until the shrimp are cooked through and the zucchini are still crunchy.
10
Serve hot.
