LEMON MARINATED SHRIMP AND ARTICHOKES

A wonderful contrast between the sweet shrimp, bitter artichokes and slightly sour marinade! It’ll tickle your palate.

Ingredients:


-Tiger shrimp with shell and head (you decide how many per person)
-Small sweet artichokes (the small ones that you can eat row)
-Lemon
-Fresh basil
-White wine
-Garlic

Average prep time: 30 min
Cooking time : 8 min

Put the shrimp into a bowl and add a little bit of olive oil and lemon juice. Remove the harder outer leaves of the artichokes and chop the remaining part of the artichoke very thinly. In a glass, prepare the juice of half a lemon and two tablespoons of white wine. Heat up some garlic in a pan and sauté the artichokes at high heat for just one minute. Next, add the lemon and wine mixture you just prepared and add some table salt. Let juices reduce for another minute. Remove the artichokes from the pan (you want them to still be crispy so don’t cook them too much!) and put them into a bowl. Chop a couple of basil leaves finelyand mix them with the warm artichokes. Re-heat the same pan you used for the artichokes, remove the shrimp from the marinade and throw them in the hot pan (you don’t need to add anything else in the pan). Cook the shrimp for 2 minutes per side. Done!!! Super easy!
