Shrimp and Artichoke Fettuccine

Summertime Cooking, p. 9

1 pound fresh or frozen medium-size shrimp

8 ounces uncooked fettuccine

1 (9 ounce) package frozen artichoke hearts

1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

1 (12 ounce) can evaporated skim milk

2 cloves garlic, chopped

1 teaspoon lemon juice

¼ teaspoon basil

¼ teaspoon salt

½ cup shredded or grated parmesan cheese

If using fresh shrimp, boil about 3 minutes until opaque. Remove from pot to cool. If using frozen shrimp, thaw completely.

In a large saucepan, cook the fettuccine according to package directions (do not add oil). Add the artichokes to the fettuccine water during the last 5 minutes of cooking. Drain and cut any large artichoke hearts.

In a large skillet, mix together flour, evaporated milk, garlic, lemon juice, basil and salt. Simmer on medium-low heat until thickened, about 3 minutes, stirring constantly. 

Yummmm sauce.


Add shrimp and cook an additional minute until heated through.

The shrimp have entered the building.


Serve over fettuccine and sprinkle with parmesan cheese.  

Not the most visually stunning dish, but still tasty!

My Rating: 4/5 "Filling and satisfying. I enjoyed the shrimp and artichokes together. I'd recommend using tail-off shrimp, because for some reason the crunch of the tails didn't work with the overall effect. Overall, though, it's a nice little weeknight dinner."
