Ingredients:

4 large artichokes
1 lemon, juiced
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt

Sauce:

4 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon honey
1 teaspoon mustard

Garnish:

1 pound shrimp, boiled and peeled
1/4 teaspoon paprika
Pinch saffron

Instructions:

1. Trim the sharp ends of each artichoke with scissors, and place in a large pot. Combine the artichokes with the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and fill pot with enough water to cover the artichokes. Boil for 40 minutes or until tender. Remove artichokes from pot and let cool.

4. Mix the shrimp with 3 tablespoons of the sauce and add the paprika and saffron.
