Pasta with Shrimp and Basil Vinaigrette

5 tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
1/3 cup plus 2 tbsp olive oil
2 1/2-ounce packages fresh basil leaves, chopped
1 1/2 pounds uncooked medium shrimp, peeled, deveined
1 pound gnocchi pasta or orecchiette pasta
4 zucchini, halved lengthwise
Olive oil
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese.

Grilled zucchini adds extra flavor and texture to this light and pretty main course.

Place shrimp in medium bowl. Drizzle with remaining 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper.
Cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite, stirring occasionally.
Meanwhile, brush zucchini on both sides with oil. Season with salt and pepper. Grill until charred, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to plate. Add shrimp to grill and cook until just cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to large bowl. Cut zucchini crosswise into 1-inch pieces and add to shrimp.
