Ingredients
Spice mixture:
- 1 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 1 teaspoon sweet Spanish paprika
Shrimp:
- 1 pound fresh or thawed shrimp, peeled, deveined, tails on
- Salt and pepper
- Extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 small onion, halved and sliced
- 1 small red bell pepper, diced
- 6 to 8 garlic cloves, chopped
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons good-quality honey
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 1/2 cups fresh peas (or frozen, thawed)
- 1 15-ounce can artichoke hearts, drained and sliced
- Grated parmesan cheese, to taste
- Fresh chopped parsley, for garnish
- Optional: Olives, for garnish
- In a small bowl, mix spices.
- Place shrimp in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper and about 2 1/2 teaspoons of the spice mixture (save rest of spice mixture for another time). Set shrimp aside.
- In a large cast iron skillet, heat 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil over medium heat until shimmering but not smoking. Add onions and peppers. Cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add garlic. Cook 1 to 2 minutes more, stirring regularly, until fragrant and golden (do not brown garlic.)
- Add white wine. Cook to reduce by half, then add lemon juice, honey, and broth. Raise heat and bring the liquid to a boil.
- Add peas and artichokes. Season with salt and pepper and the remainder of the spice mixture. Cook for 10 minutes or so until peas are cooked through.
- Add shrimp and cook until just pink (this will be very quick, so watch for shrimp to turn color, toss as needed).
- Remove from heat. Sprinkle grated parmesan cheese to your liking and garnish with fresh parsley.
- Serve hot with orzo or rice pilaf.
Notes
