Ingredients
  

Shrimp and Gnocchi
  • 1 pound shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 1 pound gnocchi store-bought or homemade
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil for cooking
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
Creamy Sauce
  • 1 cup heavy cream for richness
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese grated
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning for flavor
Garnish
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped for garnish

Method
 

Cook the Gnocchi
  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi and cook according to package instructions until they float to the surface. Drain and set aside.
Sauté the Shrimp
  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the shrimp and cook until pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the shrimp and set aside.
Make the Creamy Sauce
  1. In the same skillet, add the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning. Cook until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3-5 minutes.
Combine and Serve
  1. Add the cooked gnocchi and shrimp back into the skillet. Toss to coat in the creamy sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
