Great recipe made twice with differing results. First time, straining the oil from the the artichoke jar was much better than using the oil the second time around and increasing the amount of garlic. Overall, a hit when served with a light green salad and garlic bread.
I really liked this dish! It was easy and delicious. I didn’t have artichokes, so I didn’t use them and did not substitute with anything else. I did use a whole lemon instead of a half, and I added parmesean cheese. It was delicious! I will absolutely do this one again!
Loved this dish! So simple and quick to make. I added a few onions and garlic and left out the artichokes because I didn’t have any. I thickened the juice with a little corn starch to make it a sauce and it tuned out great. Thank you
Loved, loved, loved this recipe! The only change I made was instead of using shrimp, I baked flounder in the oven and the sauce by itself. Then I put a layer of pasta, the fish on top and then the sauce. It was so delicious!
A great quick and basic recipe. I sautéed fresh oregano and basil with the shrimp and increased the amounts of lemon juice and wine and about 1/2 teaspoons on red pepper flakes.
Delish!! Also very easy & quick!
It was delicious. So easy. I didn’t have fresh mushrooms so I used canned and it was still yummy. I will definitely make it again.
Very light and flavorful pasta dish. Quick weeknight dinner!
Easy and tasty! Clean up was super easy too! Healthy attempt, so I used whole wheat pasta and no salt in the water. Lots of flavors from the shrimp, capers, artichoke and lemon. I substituted 1/4 cup clam juice and a hefty sprinkle of Parmesan cheese for the butter and wine adding 1/2 a lemon squeezed on the plate. The Parmesan helped thicken up the juice/sauce a bit. This is a new staple in my home!
This was soooooo good!. Only change I made was to increase the servings. Although there is just the two of us, we have more than enough for an additional meal. Thank you for providing the recipe for a lovely Valentine’s Day meal.
Didn’t have mushrooms or artichokes but was looking for portions of the other ingredients for piccata. This was delish with angel hair for a nice light summer dinner!
Loved this extremely easy and quick recipe! I did not have artichoke or lemon so added fresh spinach once sauce was completed. Fresh Parmesan on top and I had a pasta dish better than any restaurant in my area. Even my meat and potatoes husband loved it!
Made as written and this turned out pretty good. The sauce was a little too thin but the flavor was great. Thanks for sharing!
