Instructions
  1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Salt liberally. Add pasta and cook until al dente, drain return to pot. Save about a cup of pasta water in case you need it.
  2. In a large sauté pan, over a medium-high heat, heat olive oil. Season shrimp with salt and pepper then add to the hot skillet. Sauté until cooked through, about one to two minutes on each side. Set shrimp aside.
  3. In the same pan, heat butter and oil over a medium heat, add onions and garlic cloves, cook until fragrant, about two minutes. Add mushrooms, cook another two minutes. Add wine, reduce, about one minute. Add lemon juice, artichokes, salt and tomatoes, cook another two minutes.
  4. Pour sauce, cream and shrimp over hot pasta, toss until completely combined. Add parmesan cheese and toss until combined, if necessary keep the heat on low, to melt the cheese and bind the sauce. If sauce is too thick, thin out with a little pasta water.
  5. Season with salt, pepper and an extra squeeze of lemon juice.
