Provided by Geoffrey Zakarian

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

10 jumbo shrimp (U12), peeled and cleaned, cut in half lengthwise
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons butter, melted
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 artichokes, cleaned and chokes removed, cut into wedges
3 cloves garlic, sliced
1/4 cup white wine
1/4 cup chicken stock
Salt
1 pound fresh tagliatelle
2/3 cup grated Pecorino Romano cheese
Freshly ground black pepper
Zest of 1 lemon
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • For the shrimp and artichokes: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • On a baking sheet, toss the shrimp with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, the lemon juice and butter and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Roast until just cooked through, about 5 minutes.
  • In a medium saucepan, heat the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil over medium heat. Add the artichokes and cook until seared and just browned, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until aromatic. Add the wine and cook until reduced slightly, 1 minute. Add the chicken stock and bring to a slow simmer. Cook until the artichokes are tender and the liquid is reduced by half. Season the mixture with salt and pepper.
  • For the pasta: Meanwhile, bring a medium stockpot of salted water to a rolling boil. Boil the pasta until cooked, about 2 minutes (or according to package instructions). Remove the pasta from the water and toss directly into the artichoke pan along with 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water. Cook and reduce the liquid, tossing the pasta, until the pasta is coated with the sauce. Remove from the heat and add the cheese and black pepper. Add the roasted shrimp and its juices, lemon zest, butter, lemon juice, parsley and salt to taste. Toss the pasta until the butter has emulsified. Plate and serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your salad. Look for plump, juicy shrimp, and fresh, vibrant artichokes.
  • Cook the shrimp properly: Shrimp should be cooked just until they are opaque and pink. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
  • Marinate the shrimp: Marinating the shrimp in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs will add extra flavor and moisture.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This will add color, texture, and flavor to your salad. Some good options include tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, and onions.
  • Don't overdress the salad: A little bit of dressing goes a long way. Too much dressing will weigh down the salad and make it soggy.

Conclusion:

This elegant shrimp and artichoke salad is a delicious and impressive dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With its combination of fresh, flavorful ingredients, this salad is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
