Steps:
- Snap off most tough outer leaves from artichokes. Trim 1 1/2 inches from top. In pot of water, place artichokes, 1 1/2 lemons, thyme, peppercorns, and bay leaf. Cover with smaller-size lid to keep artichokes submerged. Cook over medium heat until hearts are tender when pierced with knife, about 30 minutes.
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. When artichokes are tender, drain, remove remaining leaves, and discard all but the smallest, most tender ones. Set those aside. Remove choke completely with melon baller or spoon, and rub artichoke bottoms with remaining lemon half. In a glass pie pan or gratin dish, strew leaves and mix in half of bechamel. Lightly butter artichoke bottoms, season with salt and pepper, and place on top of bechamel. Place folded piece of prosciutto in each bottom; fill with a rounded mound of bechamel.
- Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until golden. Rub the tops with butter, and bake for 5 minutes more. Serve one or two bottoms per person along with some of the leaves.

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.

Tips:
- Choose fresh artichokes: Look for artichokes with tightly closed leaves and no signs of bruising or wilting.
- Trim the artichokes properly: Cut off the stem and about 1 inch of the top of the artichoke. Then, use a sharp knife to remove the tough outer leaves, working your way down to the pale green leaves in the center.
- Cook the artichokes until tender: You can boil, steam, or roast artichokes. The cooking time will vary depending on the method you choose, but the artichokes should be tender enough to easily pierce with a fork.
- Make the shrimp and citrus salsa ahead of time: This will save you time when you're ready to assemble the dish.
- Serve the artichokes warm or at room temperature: They're delicious either way.
Conclusion:
Artichoke bottoms with shrimp and citrus salsa is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. The artichokes are tender and flavorful, the shrimp is succulent, and the citrus salsa adds a bright and refreshing flavor. This dish is sure to impress your guests, and it's also a healthy and nutritious choice.
