SHAVED ARTICHOKE SALAD WITH SHRIMP

Steps:

• Squeeze a lemon half into a bowl of cold water. Cut stems from artichokes and discard. Working with one artichoke at a time, pull off all the leaves and soft purple petals and discard. Using a sharp paring knife, trim any remaining green parts from the heart. Rub with the cut side of the remaining lemon half. Scoop out the fuzzy choke with a melon baller or spoon. Rub again with the lemon half. Place the artichoke heart in the lemon water to prevent discoloration while you trim the rest.
• Very thinly slice the artichoke hearts and immediately toss them in a bowl with 2 tablespoons oil, mint, salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper.
• Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and the remaining 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are pink, 3 to 4 minutes.
