Artichokes have wonderful taste, but cooking of this dish is a quite laborious work. Still be sure your effort will be rewarded.

1 liter water
2 artichokes, peeled
6 ounces shrimps, shelled and cooked
4 tomatoes, diced
1 lemon peel and juice
1 big clove garlic, grated
3 leaves spring onion, sliced
1 tbsp olive oil
