Ingredients

12 oz potato gnocchi

10–12 large shrimp, peeled & deveined

1 tbsp olive oil

2 tbsp butter

3 garlic cloves, minced

½ cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped

1 cup baby spinach

¾ cup heavy cream

⅓ cup grated parmesan cheese

Salt & black pepper to taste

Fresh basil (for garnish)

Instructions

  • Cook the Gnocchi:

    • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi and cook according to package instructions, usually 2-3 minutes or until they float to the top. Drain and set aside.

  • Cook the Shrimp:

    • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

  • Make the Creamy Sauce:

    • In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.

    • Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and cook for another 2 minutes.

    • Pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine. Bring to a simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.

  • Combine the Ingredients:

    • Add the cooked gnocchi and spinach to the skillet, tossing to coat the gnocchi in the creamy sauce. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the spinach wilts and the gnocchi is heated through.

    • Stir in the grated parmesan cheese and season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  • Finish and Serve:

    • Add the cooked shrimp back into the skillet and toss gently to combine with the gnocchi and sauce.

    • Garnish with fresh basil and serve immediately.

Notes

Add Vegetables: Add mushrooms, bell peppers, or zucchini to the sauce for added flavor and texture.

Use Different Cheese: Substitute parmesan with Pecorino Romano or a blend of Italian cheeses for a sharper flavor.

Spicy Version: Add red pepper flakes for a little heat in the sauce.

Gluten-Free Option: Use gluten-free gnocchi to make the dish gluten-free.
