SHRIMP WITH ARTICHOKES

Steps:

• If the artichokes are small, trim the stem to within a half inch of the base and remove the tougher outer leaves. Cut each artichoke in eighths and place in a bowl. Toss with the lemon juice and cover with water. Set aside for 15 minutes. If you are using medium-size artichokes, trim the stem flush with the base and remove all the leaves. Using a sharp knife, cut away the center choke, leaving just the fleshy bottom or heart of the artichoke. Cut each in eighths and treat with the lemon as previously described.
• Drain the artichoke pieces.
• Heat half the oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the artichokes, parsley and garlic, reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring from time to time, about 20 minutes until the artichokes are lightly browned and tender when pierced with a sharp knife.
• When the artichokes are tender, remove them from the skillet. Season the flour with salt and pepper to taste and toss the shrimp in the flour to coat them lightly. Add the remaining oil to the skillet and increase the heat to medium.
• Add the shrimp to the skillet and stir-fry a minute or two, until they turn pink. Pour in the wine. Cook, stirring, until the wine just films the bottom of the pan. Return the artichokes to the pan, stir, season to taste with salt and pepper and serve.

ARTICHOKE SOUP WITH SHRIMP

Steps:

• Heat 1 teaspoon of the olive oil in a medium-size saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until soft, about 4 minutes. Reserve 1 large or 2 small artichoke hearts and place the rest in the saucepan. Add the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat slightly and simmer for 15 minutes.
• Place the mixture in a blender. Holding the top down securely with a towel, puree the soup until smooth. Place in a saucepan, season with the salt and pepper and keep warm over low heat. In a medium size skillet, heat the remaining teaspoon olive oil over medium heat. Add the shrimp and saute until cooked. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Thinly slice the reserved artichoke hearts. Divide the soup among 4 bowls. Divide the sliced artichokes among the bowls, placing them in the center. Place the shrimp over the artichoke slices so they stand out of the soup slightly. Sprinkle with the parsley and serve immediately.
