• NOTE- You might want to add less reserved maranide to taste, since the marinade dominates the taste of this dish. As an alternative you can substitute two 13.75 oz cans (non- marinaded) artichoke hearts and then add more spices to taste. Using large shrimp is best, since it is one of the main ingredients. Finally, use lemon wedges and squeeze on individual portions.
