Note
The sauce can be prepared up to 1 day ahead. Cover tightly and refrigerate. Reheat gently before adding the shrimp.
Shrimp cook very quickly; do not overcook or they will become rubbery. They are done when pink and opaque.
If using fresh artichoke hearts, ensure they are peeled and lemoned to prevent browning before adding to the sauce.
Shave the Parmesan cheese just before serving to keep it fresh and flavorful.
Reserve a small amount of pasta water before draining to help loosen the sauce if it becomes too thick during reheating.
