STUFFED ARTICHOKES WITH SHRIMP
Steps:
- Trim the sharp ends of each artichoke with scissors, and place in a large pot. Combine the artichokes with the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and fill pot with enough water to cover the artichokes. Boil for 40 minutes or until tender. Remove artichokes from pot and let cool.
- Once artichokes have cooled, scoop out the centers with a spoon, to remove the choke.
- To prepare the sauce, combine mayonnaise, lemon juice, honey and mustard in a small bowl and mix well until smooth.
- Mix the shrimp with 3 tablespoons of the sauce and add the paprika and saffron.
- To serve, fill each artichoke with the remaining sauce. Garnish each artichoke by filling each leaf with a shrimp. Place on a large platter and serve with cherry tomatoes.

Steps:
- Wash and trim artichokes.
- Steam over boiling water in a covered kettle for 30-40 minutes, or until tender when pierced.
- Turn them bottom up, place on paper towels and chill thoroughly.
- Carefully spread the center leaves of each artichoke open enough to expose the thistle-like choke.
- With a spoon, scoop and scrape the choke out, leaving the edible artichoke bottom intact.
- The artichoke should retain its shape with a hole in the center for the filling.
- Toss the shrimp with the parsley, dill or tarragon, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice.
- Blend the oil and mayonnaise together, add to the shrimp mixture and toss to combine.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, and additional lemon juice if necessary.
- Fill the artichokes with the mixture and serve.
ARTICHOKES STUFFED WITH HERBED CREAM CHEESE AND BAY SHRIMP
Ray's Boathouse, Seattle, Washington. Chef Charles Ramseyer uses a pastry bag to pipe the herbed cream cheese into the steamed artichokes, which you can do as well if you want a fancier finish to the filling, though a plain old spoon works well too. The artichokes can be stuffed up to 2 hours in advance and refrigerated until ready to serve. To eat, use the leaves to scoop up some of the cream cheese filling, scraping the tender flesh from the base of the leaf as you draw it between your teeth. From The Best Northwest Places Cookbook (Volume 2) by Cynthia Nims.

Steps:
- FOR THE HERBED CREAM CHEESE, beat the cream cheese with a mixer at medium speed until soft.
- Add the mayonnaise, Parmesan, shallot, celery leaves, lemon juice, tarragon, basil, Worcestershire sauce, and celery salt.
- Continue blending until the mixture is smooth and evenly mixed; refrigerate until ready to serve.
- CUT THE TOP INCH FROM THE ARTICHOKES and use kitchen shears to cut off the sharp tips from the leaves.
- Cut off the stem where it meets the bottom of the artichoke and score an X on the bottom of each artichoke.
- Rub all cut surfaces with one of the lemon halves.
- Put the artichokes in a large pot of cold water and squeeze in the juice from the remaining 3 lemon halves, dropping the lemons in as well.
- Set a heatproof plate on top of the artichokes to keep them thoroughly submerged in the water.
- Bring the water just to a boil over medium-high heat, then lower the heat to medium and simmer until the bottoms of the artichokes are tender and the outer leaves pull off easily, about 30 minutes.
- Drain the artichokes and set them upside down on paper towels to drain and cool.
- WHEN THE ARTICHOKES ARE COOL, lift out the small center leaves and scoop out the fuzzy choke with a small spoon, being careful to leave the tender artichoke bottom intact.
- Spoon the herbed cream cheese into the artichokes, smoothing the top.
- Top each artichoke with some of the shrimp and serve right away.
