• 1 cup Gonnella Bread Crumbs

Remove lower leaves of artichokes and cut off stems. Cut off top 1/2 -inch from each artichoke; with kitchen shears trim thorny tips from leaves. Stand artichokes upright in saucepan, add 2 to 3 inches of water and bring to boil; reduce heat, cover and simmer 45 minutes, or until base is tender when pierced with a fork. Drain. Pull apart center leaves and remove fuzzy choke from heart; discard. Set aside. Melt butter in skillet over medium heat. Add onion and shrimp and cook, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Preheat oven. Remove from heat and stir in bread crumbs, cheese, lemon and clam juices, salt and pepper, mixing thoroughly. Spoon into center of each artichoke, dividing evenly. Place artichokes in pan and bake 15 minutes. Serve hot or at room temperature.
