GIANT SHRIMP WITH ARTICHOKES AND FENNEL



NYT 02/21/01

Adapted from Esca



Leaves of 2 sprigs fresh rosemary

4 cloves garlic, peeled and thinly sliced

4 tablespoons high-quality extra virgin olive oil

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

16 jumbo shrimp, cleaned and deveined

10 medium to large artichokes

1 teaspoon hot red pepper flakes

2 fennel bulbs, trimmed and thinly sliced

2 sprigs fresh thyme

1 bay leaf

1/4 cup lemon juice

Lemon-flavored olive oil (available in specialty food markets).



1. Combine rosemary, garlic, 2 tablespoons olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste in medium

bowl. Add shrimp, and turn until well coated. Marinate at room temperature for 30 to 60 minutes.

2. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Using a paring knife, trim stem and outer artichoke

leaves to tender hearts. Quarter hearts lengthwise, and cut out choke. Place in a mixing bowl; add

remaining olive oil, pepper flakes, and salt and pepper to taste. Spread across a baking sheet, and

bake until artichokes are tender, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat, and keep warm.

3. In a medium saucepan, combine fennel, thyme, bay leaf and lemon juice. Stir in 1/3 cup water.

Cover and simmer over medium-low heat until tender, about 20 minutes.

4. Prepare a grill, or heat a large griddle or skillet until very hot. Grill or sear shrimp until pink, 2 to

3 minutes on each side. Transfer to a large bowl, and add artichoke hearts and fennel. Drizzle with

lemon-flavored olive oil to taste, and toss until well blended. Divide among 4 plates, and serve.

Yield: 4 servings.
