2 cups artichoke hearts - jar - diced
4 ounces Andouille, bacon, or smoked ham - finely diced
1 Tbsp butter
1/4 cup green onions, chopped - (white part-only)-about 5 green onions
1 Tbsp garlic - minced
2 Tbsp fresh parsley, thyme, basil, oregano or combination of herbs - minced
½ lemon - juiced
1 cup dry bread crumbs
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese - grated
8-12 large shrimp
Heat the oven to 450F. In a medium saute pan or skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and cook the andouille until brown. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil and the butter. Saute the green onions, garlic and parsley until tender, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the diced artichokes and lemon juice. If the dressing seems dry, add some wine, stock or water liquor to moisten. Saute for about 2 minutes. Remove from heat, add the bread crumbs and the cheese and toss lightly.
Place 2-3 shrimp in each ramekin. Top with the artichoke dressing. Bake until browned, 10-15 minutes. Serve with a drizzle of Hollandaise sauce over the dressing.
Note: You may replace the shrimp with oysters and adjust the cooking time for 10-15 mins.
