• 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 14 oz canned artichoke hearts (quartered)
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1.5 cups heavy cream

• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

Step 2

Cook the farfalle pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and season lightly with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Step 4

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of butter and the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 5

Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

Step 6

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and the minced garlic. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.

Step 7

Add the quartered artichoke hearts to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring gently.

Step 8

Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and stir, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.

Step 9

Reduce the heat to medium-low and stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Simmer gently for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 10

Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and toss to coat them in the sauce. Simmer for 1-2 minutes.

Step 11

Add the cooked farfalle to the skillet and toss gently until the pasta is fully coated in the sauce.

Step 12

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
