Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
6 medium artichokes -- about 3" across
1 1/2 pounds raw small shrimp
6 tablespoons lemon juice
2 3/4 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon tarragon
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup mayonnaise

To prepare artichokes, remove the stems, cut 1/2" off of top and snip off
sharp tips of leaves and cook. Don't over cook. Remove chokes of artichoke
by carefully spreading leaves and pulling out innermost ones and scrape away
the fuzzy choke with a spoon. To cook shrimp, bring 1 quart water to a
boil, add 1 tablespoon lemon juice and 2 teaspoons salt. Add shrimp and
bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 3 to 5 minutes till shrimp turns
pink. Reserve 1/2 cup water shrimp was cooked in, then drain, peel and
clean the shrimp. Reserve 18 shrimp for garnish. Place remaining shrimp in
blender with reserved liquid, the remaining 5 tablespoons lemon juice,
seasonings and 1 cup mayonnaise. Blend until shrimp are broken up, chill in
refrigerator, where it will become considerably thicker until ready to fill
artichokes.
