SHRIMP STUFFED ARTICHOKE



Shrimp Stuffed Artichoke image

In New Orleans a stuffed artichoke is a tradition. Garlic, cheese, olive oil, and bread crumbs, all stuffed in and around the leaves make for some really good bites to eat with cocktails. Add shrimp, crab or crawfish to send it over the top! In this recipe the leaves are removed and then topped with the delicious stuffing.
