This dish hits on some of my favorites! Shrimp, garlic, and artichokes! It’s super easy for a weeknight, but can impress if entertaining!
I am picky when it comes to shrimp. I only buy jumbo shrimp (hee hee ?) because they hold up well when cooking and are also just more satisfying. Shrimp is such a versatile food as well! Shrimp can be sauteed, grilled, steamed, boiled, roasted, broiled, pan-seared, or fried. It’s really low in calories (only 84 calories in a 3oz serving), high in protein (18 grams), and is a good source of Omega 6 and 3 fatty acids. I recommend making sure all the shrimp smell fresh before cooking.
In this recipe, I simply saute the garlic in olive oil until the edges turn a golden color, add the shrimp, and then once the shrimp is pink I add the white wine, artichokes, and diced tomatoes. It’s really that simple! I buy already quartered artichoke hearts to save on prep-time. You can just use a can of diced tomatoes, but I dice and then freeze tomatoes from my garden so I use those instead.
I usually serve this over Jasmin Rice, but it can also be served over pasta. This last time I served it over steamed swiss chard because I am trying to watch my carbs. Cauliflower Rice is another low-carb option.
Enjoy!

easy directions and a light but filling meal. Yum!
My recommendation is to cook the shrimp separately towards the end (after adding the wine to the veggies) so you don’t accidentally overcook them. Then just throw them in with the rest, stir it up, and serve with some minced parsley on top
