First, make sure you slice the zucchini squash to about 1/4-inch thick. This thickness is quick to cook when grilling.
Next, make the lemon butter mixture by combining the butter, lemon juice and chopped parsley.
Brush the lemon butter mixture on both sides of the sliced zucchini. Grill for about 1 minute on each side, or until the char marks form.
If you don’t have an outdoor grill, you can cook the zucchinis using a grill pan on your stove top.
You can also use an indoor grill or bake them in the oven.

this is a great idea, I saw this on a recent foodiecrush post featuring several zucchini recipes and really love this barbeque idea, especially since I usually only throw them on the grill plain, this is so much better with lemon butter, thank you for this inspiration!
