Instructions
In a medium pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add a pinch of salt and blanch the shrimp for 2-3 minutes, or until they turn pink and are fully cooked. Do not overcook. Drain and set aside to cool.
Drain and rinse the canned artichoke hearts. Pat them dry using a paper towel and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, fresh lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes to create the marinade.
Add the cooked shrimp and artichoke hearts to the bowl with the marinade. Toss gently to ensure everything is evenly coated.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld together. For best results, marinate for up to 3 hours.
Before serving, sprinkle the marinated shrimp and artichokes with fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor. Garnish with lemon slices if desired.
Serve chilled as an appetizer or side dish. Enjoy!
