Made this for the 2 of us & although I'm not that fond of artichokes & mushrooms, my other half is, so most of those made it to his plate! I did pretty much follow the recipe although I did double the amount of shrimp & liked that a lot! Serious raves came from across the table, so you know it was well received!
