Shrimp Stuffed Artichoke Hearts Recipes

STUFFED ARTICHOKE HEARTS

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
• Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat; remove from heat and set aside. Place the Parmesan cheese in a shallow bowl, and set aside.
• Cut a thin slice from the bottom of each artichoke bottom so it will stand, and gently press your thumb into the center of each to form a depression for the filling. Sprinkle the artichoke bottoms with lemon pepper and garlic salt.
• Combine the cream cheese, sour cream, and chives in a bowl, and mix well. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the filling into each artichoke bottom.
• Dip each stuffed artichoke bottom into the melted butter, roll in Parmesan cheese, and place into the prepared baking dish. Bake about 45 minutes in the preheated oven, until the tops of the artichokes are golden brown.

SHRIMP STUFFED ARTICHOKES

Steps:

• Wash and trim artichokes.
• Steam over boiling water in a covered kettle for 30-40 minutes, or until tender when pierced.
• Turn them bottom up, place on paper towels and chill thoroughly.
• Carefully spread the center leaves of each artichoke open enough to expose the thistle-like choke.
• With a spoon, scoop and scrape the choke out, leaving the edible artichoke bottom intact.
• The artichoke should retain its shape with a hole in the center for the filling.
• Toss the shrimp with the parsley, dill or tarragon, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice.
• Blend the oil and mayonnaise together, add to the shrimp mixture and toss to combine.
• Season with salt and pepper to taste, and additional lemon juice if necessary.
• Fill the artichokes with the mixture and serve.

STUFFED ARTICHOKE HEARTS

Steps:

• Pull out the center of the artichoke with your fingers to form a cup, and then slice a bit off the bottom to make a flat surface so the cups sit upright. Repeat with remaining artichokes. The artichoke centers can be used in a salad or omelet.
• In a large bowl, toss together the scallions, cabbage, and carrots. Add the dressing, taste, and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper, if necessary. Fill the artichoke cups with the slaw, garnish with sesame seeds, and serve.

MARINATED SHRIMPS, MUSSELS AND ARTICHOKE HEARTS

Steps:

• Put the mussels with a quarter-cup of water in a large pot with a tightly fitting lid. Cook for 10 minutes, shaking the pot - holding the cover on - once during cooking. Remove from heat. Allow to cool until the mussels can be handled. Shell the mussels, using one shell as tweezers. Place the meat in a very large bowl. Discard the shells. Strain the mussel liquid through a sieve lined with a damp cloth. Reserve.
• Bring three quarts of water with the salt to a boil in a large pot. Drop in the shrimp. Stir. Cover the pot and turn off the heat. Let the shrimp steep for five minutes. Drain in a large colander. Add to the mussels.
• Open the boxes of artichoke hearts. Place the artichokes in a sieve under hot running water until they can be separated. Place in bowl of hot water until thoroughly defrosted. Drain and add them to the shrimp and mussels.
• Add the celery and onions and stir.
• Whisk together the marinade ingredients. Pour over the salad. With hands or large spoons, mix thoroughly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate. Stir once or twice before dinner.

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.
