ARTICHOKE RICE SALAD WITH SHRIMP
I forget who I got this from, but I have tweaked it to my taste, adding some ingredients and omitting others. Everyone who has it wants the recipe. I often make this without the shrimp for a side dish, but with the shrimp it can be a meal in itself. Either way you decide to go, I know you'll enjoy! Note: Photo borrowed from...

Steps:
- 1. Brown the rice in about a tbsp. of olive oil, then add the amount of water called for on the pkgs. along with the seasoning pkts. ONLY (No butter or additional oil) and finish cooking as per pkg. instructions. Set aside.
- 2. Rinse and drain the shrimp. Then toss them in about 2 tsp. curry powder and saute them in a pan barely coated in olive oil until they are about half cooked and then turned them and added a little water (just to cover bottom of pan) to finish cooking. Don't overcook! Set aside.
- 3. For the dressing: Mix the mayo, artichoke juice, salt and pepper to taste, and the other tsp. of curry powder together. (I love curry, so I add more, probably twice this much, maybe even more! I sometimes also add 1-2 tbsps. of the olive juice to the dressing.)
- 4. Add the green onions, artichoke hearts, green olives and shrimp to the rice and toss. (I often add additional artichokes and olives. I like a lot of goodies in mine.)
- 5. Pour the dressing over the rice mixture and toss to coat. Don't over mix or rice will become very clumpy.
- 6. I serve this warm or cold. It is wonderful either way. And, the leftovers are just as good or better the next day. Enjoy!

Tips:
- Choose fresh and flavorful ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the taste of your salad. Look for plump, vibrant shrimp, and artichokes with tightly closed leaves. Use fresh herbs, such as parsley or cilantro, to add a pop of color and flavor.
- Cook the shrimp perfectly: Overcooked shrimp is tough and rubbery, so it's important to cook them quickly and carefully. Boil or steam the shrimp for 2-3 minutes, or until they are just opaque. You can also grill or sauté the shrimp, but be sure to cook them over medium heat so they don't overcook.
- Marinate the shrimp: Marinating the shrimp in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs will add extra flavor and moisture. Allow the shrimp to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
- Use a variety of vegetables: In addition to artichokes and shrimp, this salad can be made with a variety of other vegetables, such as tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, and zucchini. Choose vegetables that are in season and that you enjoy eating.
- Make a flavorful dressing: The dressing is what really brings this salad together. Use a combination of olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, and herbs to create a dressing that is both flavorful and tangy.
Conclusion:
Artichokes, shrimp, and rice salad is a delicious and refreshing salad that is perfect for summer gatherings. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its vibrant colors and mix of flavors and textures, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next party or potluck.
