    I recently made this for my seafood pasta loving mom for her birthday. She cares for my dad with Parkinson’s and can no longer enjoy a restaurant, so I gave it my best shot to make that experience for her. This recipe was so easy and SO GOOD! It got rave reviews, even from my kids, and we can’t wait to make it again! Thank you!!!

    So good! I added some sliced heart of palm and red pepper flakes but otherwise made it exactly as written. YUM! Re: the heart of palm, years ago there used to be a little Brazilian cafe in my small town that made a pasta and shrimp dish that had heart of palm and I’ve been trying to find a similar recipe since. This reminded me of it so I gave it a try with the addition of hear of palm, nd it is so delicious. I did not add any of the pasta water since I prefer my pasta kind of dry and not creamy/juicy.

      Hi Ria, using raw shrimp imparts more flavor to the dish, but you can thaw completely if frozen then pat dry and put them on the skillet just until they are warmed through. You don’t want to cook them again or they will turn rubbery and dry.

    Quick question, one of your other recipes for Creamy Alfredo, can I substitute cooking white wine instead of Chardonnay? Thanks, love yr other recipes!

      Hi Ken, I highly recommend avoiding cooking wines that have additives and can cause the flavors to be off. Even a $5 bottle of inexpensive dry white wine would serve better than a cooking wine.

    Natasha, this pasta looks so simple and amazing, especially with the artichokes. I bet it has so much flavor, and so light too, I can’t believe there’s no heavy cream in the dish!

      It is nice to have a pasta without the cream, but it’s still loaded with so much flavor and the pasta is so juicy from the sauce and reincorporating some of the pasta cooking liquid. I hope you love it! 🙂

    Looks good but what kind of taste do the artichoke give? What do they taste like? Never had them before.

    For dinner- we had “Okroshka”. It’s been too hot in Washington, so Okroshka was perfect.

      They are pretty plain and take on the flavor of the sauce (garlic, lemon, parsley and butter). I’m so glad you liked the okroshka! 🙂

      Even I love artichokes! Shhhh. Don’t tell my wife. But I do! So I’m going to totally make this recipe. They pair perfect with pasta too, so Natasha, thanks for this one! I used to think (I know, I’m naive) that shrimp didn’t need to be cooked. I bought a humorous bag of it and defrosted on the countertop in the kitchen. Almost just ate them. My aunt stopped me just in time, saying, hmmm, Let’s google this first!
