This was a mild straightforward dish, not as spicy as you might expect, I didn't really detect heat. I did seed my jalapeno, so if you like hot, leave seeds in or add more; if you don't like hot, don't worry. ;) The flavors of the artichokes pair nicely with the shrimp as if they were born to go together! All the other vegetables went nicely also. The cilantro gives a hint of flavor, also there is a hint of something almost citrus-like coming through, in the marinade. This is so delicious! The ramen, I did a simple pan-fry job on (you an do this after boiling, like hash browns); they went well together. There was no clash of taste. Great job, Bergy! Love your cooking! :)
