Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

- Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring to combine.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer, then add the grated Parmesan cheese.
- Stir in the Italian seasoning, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add the fresh spinach leaves, sun-dried tomatoes, and marinated artichoke hearts to the skillet.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the spinach wilts and the sauce thickens slightly.
- Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet, stirring to coat the shrimp with the sauce.
- Add the lemon juice and stir well to combine.
- Cook for another 1-2 minutes to heat everything through.
- Remove from heat and garnish with chopped fresh basil or parsley.

Notes
- For a lighter option, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or reduced-fat milk.
- Ensure marinated artichoke hearts are well drained and finely chopped before adding to the skillet.
- Adjust red pepper flakes to your desired level of spiciness and use freshly grated Parmesan for a more robust flavor.
