Note
Ensure shrimp are peeled and deveined before assembling. If using frozen shrimp, thaw and pat dry completely.
Artichoke bottoms can be purchased canned or jarred; drain and pat dry before use.
Keep a close eye on the broiler as cheese burns quickly. The goal is melted, not browned.
For a variation, try swapping Brie for goat cheese or fontina for different flavor profiles.
Serve immediately while warm and cheesy for the best texture.
