Glynn County History—Sharing Our Recipes at the Table

A fun way to find common ground with folks is always over a delicious dish! I thought it would
be nice to run a series of some of our favorite dishes from local cookbooks and chefs.

Here's a wonderful dish for artichokes stuffed with shrimp (found on page 107 in the 1977 edition of Frederica Fare):

Artichokes Stuffed with Shrimp

6 medium artichokes
1 1/2 lbs. raw shrimp
8 T. lemon juice
1 c. mayonnaise
4 t. salt
1/2 t. tarragon
1/4 t. black pepper

Trim artichokes (stems and tops) and cook in boiling water. Add to this 2 T. lemon juice and 2 t. salt. Cook for 30-40 minutes. Drain well. Remove artichokes and chill. Cook shrimp in water with 1 T. lemon juice and 2 t. salt. Reserve 1/2 c. water shrimp were cooked in. Drain, peel, and clean shrimp. Reserve 18 shrimp for garnish. Place remaining shrimp in blender with reserve liquid , 5 T. lemon juice, seasoning, and mayonnaise. Blend until shrimp are broken up. Chill well, and when ready to serve fill artichokes with mixture and garnish with whole shrimp.
