Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 1 cup marinated artichoke hearts (drained and quartered)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves (minced)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 cup dry white wine (optional)
- 2 tablespoons parsley (chopped)
- 0.25 teaspoons red pepper flakes (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Season with salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side, until the shrimp turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
Add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the skillet. Once melted, stir in the quartered artichoke hearts.
If using wine, pour it into the skillet and allow it to simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly. If not using wine, proceed with the next step.
Return the shrimp to the skillet and toss to combine with the artichoke hearts.
Drizzle with fresh lemon juice, then sprinkle with chopped parsley and red pepper flakes (if desired).
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed with additional salt and pepper.
Serve immediately, either with crusty bread for dipping or over a bed of rice or pasta.
