Zucchini with Shallots

Very yum!! 10/10. Made at mom's sometime in 2020, forgot to get pix. Made with the amazing scallops pasta thing. Thinner zucchini would have been better, but we did fine with the fat ones, just made it a bit trickier to turn in the pan and cook evenly.

Recipe below contains my modifications.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 lbs. "thin" zucchini (width-wise)

2 T. olive oil

salt and pepper, to taste

2 T. fresh bread crumbs

1 T. butter

2 T. shallots, chopped

4 T. fresh parsley, chopped (not sure if we used curly or Italian style)

Directions:

1. Rinse zucchini and pat dry. Cut off the ends, then slice into 1/8" slices (do NOT peel the zucchini).

2. In a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil. Once heated, add the zucchini and sauté, shaking the pan and tossing gently, cooking a total of around 5 min. Season with salt and pepper (to taste) while sautéing. 

3. Add the butter and bread crumbs to the pan. Once the crumbs start to brown, add the shallots and cook for another minute, until softened.

4. Sprinkle with parsley and serve. Enjoy!
