A rich, flavorful dish combining tender gnocchi, succulent shrimp, and tangy sun-dried tomatoes in a creamy sauce, perfect for a quick and satisfying dinner.
Ingredients
1 lb gnocchi
1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook the gnocchi according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until pink and fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes to the skillet and cook for another 2 minutes.
- Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in the Parmesan cheese and let the sauce simmer for 3-4 minutes, or until it thickens slightly.
- Add the cooked gnocchi and shrimp back into the skillet and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Garnish with fresh basil and serve immediately.
Notes
For extra greens, add spinach or kale after cooking the sun-dried tomatoes.
If not in the mood for shrimp, swap it for grilled chicken breast.
Use Pecorino Romano or a blend of Italian cheeses for a different flavor profile.
Add red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
