Shrimp Gnocchi Recipe
Report
This shrimp gnocchi is a real treat. It's made with pillowy soft gnocchi, tender shrimp, and a delicious lemon garlic butter cream sauce. It's a surprisingly quick and easy recipe that's always a winner!

Ingredients
- 1 ¼ lb gnocchi see notes
- 2 tablespoons butter divided
- 1 lb peeled shrimp
- 4 cloves garlic finely minced
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 1 ¼ cups chicken or vegetable stock
- 4 ounces cream cheese can be light
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Zest and Juice from 1 lemon
- 3 ounces baby spinach
Instructions
- Cook the gnocchi according to the package directions. (See notes)
- While the gnocchi cooks, make the shrimp. Heat half of the butter in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the shrimp and garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes, until the shrimp are cooked through. Remove the shrimp from the pan.
- Melt the remaining tablespoon of butter then whisk in the flour. Add the chicken stock and whisk until the sauce simmers and thickens. Add the cream cheese and parmesan and stir until they have melted into the sauce; this will take a few minutes. Stir in the lemon zest and juice.
- Add the cooked gnocchi, shrimp, and spinach to the pan and stir everything together.
Notes
- We like to use refrigerated gnocchi (the type that you pan-fry to cook) in this recipe. Shelf-stable gnocchi (the type that you boil to cook) will also work well.
- Homemade gnocchi is very soft. If you use it in this recipe, plate it after it's cooked, and then pour the sauce and shrimp over the top.
