Quick and Easy One Pot Artichoke, Black Olive, Tomato, Feta and Shrimp Combo With or Without Starch

May 28, 2020 by Judy Lyness 10 Comments

This pandemic has been tough. Being alone, isolated has been difficult. Most mornings I ask myself, “What you going to do today Jude?”

In the beginning I was full of purpose. I made two flower planters, painted the trim on the garage. But slowly a heavy blanket of ennui encased me. The voice in my head kept repeating, “Why bother?”

That’s why I was so happy that my family suggested that we cook together, ‘pandemic together’, aka Zoom or Skype.

Finally, a project that involved people, real people.

I wanted to show how easy some meals can be. Lesson one started with this chop and dump recipe. It’s quite versatile in that you can add just about anything. The first time I made it I put it over arugula, many in my family put it over pasta. The choice is yours.

Another bonus is that all the ingredients are readily found at Trader Joe’s.

I hope you have as much fun as we did making it.

Thank you Rachel for these photos

    Thanks Jude!!! Was wondering what to make for dinner tonight… this is perfect! I know how you feel by the way…I’m finding it increasingly more difficult being alone. I mean, Daizy and The Cheese sure help but there is only so much banana bread a person can make! xoxo

    I love your blog. LOVE IT.

    This is far more sophisticated than a “chop and dump”recipe! It’s good to hear from you again here. GREG

    I agree with Greg, still easy, but not a “dump” recipe by any stretch of the imagination. Glad you are doing well, Judy! Hope this is all over soon!

    Great recipe.. but.. this being a personal pet peeve of mine and my family members, we really wish food bloggers would keep in mind you have readers from around the world checking out your recipes and blogs with not too many of them having a Trader Joe’s to shop at or in some cases not having heard of Trader joes.
