Creamy Shrimp Gnocchi

This Creamy Shrimp Gnocchi is a great one-pan meal that blends simplicity and sophistication in a dish that tastes like something from your favorite Italian restaurant! This is delicious and surprisingly easy to prepare with just a few grocery store ingredients. Succulent shrimp, pillowy soft gnocchi, and a lusciously creamy sauce all come together in under 30 minutes.

Notes
- Any dry white wine will work. If you don't consume alcohol, you can replace it with extra broth and a teaspoon of lemon juice.
- I typically opt for either my homemade shrimp stock or a carton of fish stock. However, feel free to substitute with any broth you choose, such as seafood, chicken, or vegetable. Alternatives like Better than Bouillon fish or lobster base can work wonderfully. (made up as directed)
- The recipe calls for heavy cream; honestly, I wouldn't recommend substituting it with half and half in this case. Using half and half runs the risk of the sauce splitting when you add wine, which isn't an issue with heavy cream. You can use whipping cream or double cream.
- I buy shelf-stable dried gnocchi, which you can find in the pasta aisle at the grocery store. It is usually vacuum-packed and lasts several months in the pantry or cupboard.
- I go for a 36/40 count. If you are using frozen, ensure they're completely thawed before cooking.
