Shrimp And Artichoke Vinaigrette Recipes

Steps:

• With a sharp knife, level the bottom of each artichoke and cut 1 in. from the top. With kitchen scissors, snip off tips of outer leaves. Place in a steamer baske in a large saucepan over 1 in. of water. Bring to a boil; cover and steam until leaves near the center pull out easily, 20-25 minutes. Add the asparagus, cauliflower and broccoli ; cover and cook until crisp-tender, 3-4 minutes. Drain. With a spoon, carefully remove and discard the fuzzy centers of the artichokes. Thinly slice artichoke hearts., Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine wine and 1 shallot. Bring to a boil; cook until liquid is reduced to about 2 tablespoons. In a small bowl, whisk the oil, vinegar, wine mixture, mustard, salt, pepper and remaining shallot; set aside., Place salad greens and watercress on a large platter. Top with the cooked vegetables, shrimp, fennel, red pepper and artichoke slices. Drizzle with dressing and sprinkle with reserved fennel fronds.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and shallots and cook, stirring until softened but not browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Add shrimp, artichoke hearts, wine, and lemon juice and cook until the shrimp are cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the parsley, salt and pepper. Divide among 4 plates, garnish with additional parsley, and serve.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Refrigerate a minimum of 6 hours or a maximum of 2 days.
• Drain and serve on letter leaves.

Steps:

• Using a small regular or swivel-bladed paring knife, peel the artichokes. If the artichokes are very large, cut them in half. Ideally, the artichokes or pieces of artichokes should be of uniform size or the size of the smallest whole artichoke.
• Put the artichokes in a saucepan. Add cold water to cover and salt to taste. Bring to a boil and let simmer about 10 to 15 minutes or until tender but still a little crisp. Drain well.
• While the artichokes are still warm cut them in quarter-inch thick slices. Put them in a bowl.
• Put the mustard and vinegar in a small bowl. Start beating with a wire whisk while gradually adding the oil. Beat in salt and pepper to taste.
• Add the shrimp, onion, garlic, pepper flakes and parsley to the artichokes. Pour the sauce over all and stir to blend. Serve.

Steps:

• In blender or food processor all all but oil. While running, drizzle in the oil.
• Serve now or refrigerate in glass jar.

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.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Simmer artichokes in the boiling water until softened, about 30 minutes. Drain.
• Mix vinegar, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Whisk in olive oil in a slow, steady stream until vinaigrette is blended.
• Start by eating the artichoke leaves dipped in the vinaigrette. Discard small leaves and gently scrape fuzzy choke from the hearts. Fill the hearts with vinaigrette and slice.

Steps:

• Lay an artichoke on its side on a cutting board. Using a large, sharp knife, cut away the entire top quarter in one slice. Rub the top with the cut lemon. Cut off the stem at the bottom, so the artichoke will stand upright, and rub the bottom with lemon. Pull off the tough bottom leaves (bracts). Then, using scissors, cut away the thorny end of each remaining bract. Rub the edges with lemon.
• Bring two inches of water to a boil in a steamer or pasta pot, and place the artichokes in the steaming basket. If they are too big to fit, place them directly in the water. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer 45 minutes or until a leaf easily pulls away. Remove from the heat. Serve hot or at room temperature with a sauce for dipping the leaves. Use your teeth to scrape the flesh from the bottom of the leaf. Have a bowl or plate on the side for the discarded leaves. When you reach the papery leaves that cover the heart in the middle, cut them away along with the choke and discard. Divvy up the heart and enjoy.
• Whisk together the vinegar, salt, Dijon mustard and garlic. Whisk in the mayonnaise, yogurt and olive oil, and blend well. Taste, adjust salt, and add pepper. Use as a dip for artichokes or other vegetables.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a medium baking dish, mix together Cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, artichoke hearts, green onions, garlic salt, mayonnaise and shrimp. Sprinkle with paprika.
• Bake in the preheated oven 20 minutes, or until bubbly and lightly browned.
