Roasted Zucchini And Shrimp With Za’atar Yogurt
  1. Place rack 6 inches from broiler, and heat oven to 425 degrees. In a large bowl, toss together zucchini, 2 tablespoons olive oil, ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon red-pepper flakes. Spread evenly on a rimmed sheet pan. Roast until the zucchini is nicely browned all over, about 25 minutes, tossing halfway through.

  2. While the zucchini roasts, pat shrimp dry and add to the same bowl used for the zucchini (no need to wash it). Toss shrimp with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, ½ teaspoon salt, remaining ¼ teaspoon red-pepper flakes, 2 teaspoons za’atar and all of the lemon zest. Let sit at room temperature while the zucchini roasts.

  3. Remove zucchini from oven and turn the broiler to high. Add shrimp to the sheet pan with the zucchini, spreading it out evenly. Broil for 2 to 5 minutes, or until the shrimp just cooks through (watch it carefully so the shrimp don’t overcook).

  4. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together yogurt, remaining ¼ teaspoon salt, half of the lemon juice, the remaining 2 teaspoons za’atar and the grated garlic. Taste and add more salt or lemon juice, if needed. If the mixture is very thick, stir in a little water to loosen it, then spoon it on top of the shrimp and zucchini, and sprinkle with chopped herbs. Serve, making sure to scoop up the pan juices.
