Shrimp Francesca

When I was first looking over this recipe for Shrimp Francesca, I wondered whether or not the dish would be worthy of the Italian version of my name.  Quite simply, it is.

As far as I am concerned, you can combine artichokes with just about anything and it always enhances the entrée or salad.  In this dish, the shrimp and artichokes make a tasty duo and are further enhanced with seasoned Italian bread crumbs and a squeeze of lemon.  They are then topped off with a drizzle of garlic butter and Romano cheese.  What’s not to like?

The shrimp were so flavorful and pretty on the plate that Roger and I both thought it was restaurant quality and would make a great meal for dinner guests.  On top of that, the dish is relatively easy to prepare, especially when you have prepared Italian bread crumbs which are a staple in my kitchen.

I didn’t name this dish, but I do approve of the name.  Shrimp Francesca is frantastic!
