Shrimp Sebastian image

This is a rich and elegant entree,shrimp and artichoke hearts in a subtle garlic cream sauce. Originally from the R.S.V.P. Letters from the Editor section from a January 1985 issue of Bon Apetit. The recipe was requested from Bouligny Restaurant in New Orleans. I'm not sure if the restaurant is still there, but I wanted to save this here on Recipezaar.
