"Macaroni Grill's"

Shrimp Portofino:

Macaroni Grill is a favorite restaurant of ours. I found what is called a duplicate recipe of a dish we enjoy. I think the word duplicate might be what a person analyzed as the ingredients. I am anxious to try this recipe.

Ingredients:

2 teaspoons finely chopped garlic

1/2 cup melted butter

16 large shrimp, cleaned and de-veined

16 medium mushrooms

1/2 teaspoon pepper

3 cloves fresh garlic, crushed, peeled, and minced

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (fresh is better for the taste)

1 jar marinated artichoke hearts (drain before using)

4 slices lemon

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (don't use dried parsley)

Pasta of your choice.

Directions:

Saute the mushrooms and garlic in butter until just about tender. Add the shrimp and saute until shrimp is cooked (not translucent - but don't overcook), about 3 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients (except the lemon and fresh parsley) and heat thoroughly. Serve over pasta of your choice. Garnish with lemon slices and fresh parsley.
