We like zucchini, and/or yellow squash, simply fried in butter, to a golden brown, with a little salt and pepper. Delish. However, I thought I would kick it up a notch and this was the result. I hope you like it as much as we do!

How To Make jazzed-up zucchini

Step 1

Assemble and prep all ingredients.

Step 2

In a medium skillet (I would use nonstick or well-seasoned cast iron,) melt butter over medium heat.
Step 3

Add sliced zucchini; fry in butter, turning frequently, until very tender and browned (not burned) on all sides, about 10 to 12 minutes; remove from heat.
Step 4

Place in warm serving dish; immediately sprinkle with cheese; keep as warm as possible while preparing toppings.
Step 5

To the same skillet, add olive oil.
Step 6

Over medium/medium-high heat, saute shallots until translucent and beginning to brown (about 1 minute, watch carefully.)
Step 7

Scatter shallots over zucchini; keep warm.
Step 8

Add prosciutto to skillet; sauté for approximately 30 seconds, until prosciutto becomes crispy; remove from heat.
Step 9

Scatter crispy prosciutto over prepared zucchini; drizzle a few drops of good quality balsamic vinegar, if desired; garnish as desired. Serve immediately.
