Mediterranean Zucchini "Pasta" w Shrimp and Cherry Tomatoes

I found this great summer recipe in a magazine yesterday and
realizedI had all the ingredients on hand! I showed it to DH and he
got out achopping board and in 20 minutes he had put together this
great dish!Instead of pasta, you slice a large zucchini into strips. 

My whole family loved this dish, especially my grown men sons!

I think they loved the shrimp and feta cheese.  Enjoy!

This dish was absolutely delicious!  However,  this was all I ate
