Ingredients
- 1 pound Shrimp peeled and de-veined, medium
- 1 pound potato gnocchi
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 3 teaspoons garlic minced
- 1 cup chicken broth or vegetable broth, low sodium
- ½ cup heavy cream or fat free half and half
- 4 tablespoons lemon juice freshly squeezed
- ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper or to taste, cracked
- black pepper optional toppings, cracked; grated parmesan; fresh; or alternative herb
- Parmesan Cheese
- thyme
- parsley
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add gnocchi, boil three minutes, then remove with a slotted spoon and place in a large bowl. Toss with 1 teaspoon olive oil and set aside.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt butter. Stir in garlic for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Stir in gnocchi and shrimp for 2-3 minutes.
- Stir in broth, lemon juice and heavy cream.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 5-10 minutes until sauce is reduced by half and thickened to a nice, creamy consistency.
- Season with salt and pepper and garnish with optional toppings (herbs, cracked black pepper, parmesan cheese) and serve.
Notes
- Heavy cream will make the sauce creamier and give it a richer flavor. For a lighter option, use fat free half and half - the sauce will be slightly less creamy and rich but still completely delicious.
