The Shrimp Scampi Gnocchi is my husband’s favorite dinner and he suggests pairing a good dry white wine with this course. Simple to make but fancy in flavor, no one would even know.
Using store bought gnocchi is probably easier and skips a few steps, however, if you do have a good homemade gnocchi recipe then definitely try and experiment with that. Homemade pasta is always fun to make!
To make Shrimp Scampi Gnocchi, you will need the following ingredients:
In a large pot of salted, boiling water, cook 1 package (16-ounces) of potato gnocchi according to package instructions. Drain well.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and add the boiled gnocchi. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes per side until golden and lightly crisped. Remove from skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter and add 8 ounces of medium shrimp. Season with salt and pepper, to taste and then cook, tossing occasionally, for about 2-3 minutes until cooked through and pink. Then, remove from skillet and set aside.
Add 3 cloves of minced garlic and cook while stirring, for about 1 minute until aromatic.
Pour in ⅓ cup of chicken stock and lemon juice from 1 lemon. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 2 minutes until the sauce has reduced to half.
Add remaining 4 tablespoons of butter, 1 tablespoon at a time until melted through and sauce is smooth.
Return sautéed gnocchi to the skillet along with prepared shrimp scampi and gently toss to coat and mix.
Garnish with a few sprinkles of parsley leaves and serve!
