This was great. I made this for my boyfriend on our second date. He loved it and complemented me highly. I can't take all the credit though. Thanks for posting this yummy and easy recipe.

I found this to be very unique! Quite different from anything I've tasted. I appreciated that it was not a heavy sauce! It took me a bit long to prepare, but I had family distractions!? I thought next time I might save some larger pieces of artichoke to add at the end. It would complement the pieces of shrimp. I took it to work and shared it the next day-they really enjoyed it too! I will definetely make it again! Thank you!

I made this for dinner last night and it was really delicious!I cut it in half since there was only two of us, but then ended up adding more wine and chicken broth since I wanted lots of sauce for the pasta. Thank you, Barbara for an elegant and tasty dish! (And even though there are lots of ingredients, it was fast and simple to prepare.)
