This buttery shrimp piccata with artichokes makes a delicious one-pan dinner that comes together in 25 minutes. The dish has a bit of heat from red pepper flakes and a nice sharpness from lemon juice, white wine and capers.

Recipe ingredients and notes:

I recommend to check the outermost petals and the tops of the canned artichoke hearts. They can sometimes be tough and woody. If they are, remove the tough parts and discard.
