Macaroni Grill Fonduta Gamberi 

2 cups half-and-half

1 tablespoon clam juice

2 tablespoons dry white wine

3 tablespoons butter

1 shallot, finely chopped

2 tablespoons flour

4 cups rough chopped spinach

1 cup canned artichoke hearts, chopped

8 large shrimp, peeled, cleaned and chopped

1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (more to taste)

1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1/2 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese, optional

In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine half-and-half, clam

juice and white wine. In a separate saucepan, melt butter. Add

shallots and sauté until translucent. Add flour to butter mixture,

stirring until flour is absorbed. Cook, stirring constantly, 2 to 3

minutes.

Add heated half-and-half mixture all at once to the shallot mix,

stirring constantly with a wire whip to remove any lumps. Add

spinach, artichokes, shrimp, cayenne and black pepper and bring to aboil.

Reduce heat and simmer 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, so the

mixture does not scorch. Remove mixture from heat, and stir in

cheese, if desired.

Pour dip into bowl and serve hot.
