By dmscott52

First tried 2/10/2017. Very good Paula Deen recipe

Ingredients

• 2 T extra virgin olive oil
• 1/2 cup butter
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/3 cup dry white wine
• 3/4 tsp. salt, plus more for seasoning
• 1/8 tsp. red pepper flakes
• black pepper, cracked
• 2 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 cup marinated artichoke hearts, drained
• 1/2 cup fresh basil, chopped
• rice, pasta or crusty bread, for serving
• 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

Preparation

Step 1

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the oil and melt the butter. Add the garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant about 1 minute. Add the wine, salt, red pepper flakes and black pepper, to taste, and bring to a simmer. Let the liquid reduce by half, about 2 minutes. Add the shrimp and artichokes and cook, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are just pink, 2 to 4 minutes. Stir in the basil. Season with salt and serve over pasta, rice or with crusty bread. Sprinkle with the cheese.
