Ingredients

  • 1 16-ounce package potato gnocchi
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
  • 8 ounces medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • ⅓ cup chicken stock
  • 1 lemon, juiced, or more, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves

Instructions

  • In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook gnocchi according to package instructions; drain well.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add gnocchi and cook until golden brown and crisp, flipping once, about 2-3 minutes per side; set aside.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons butter in the skillet. Add shrimp; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cook, stirring occasionally, until pink, about 2-3 minutes; set aside.
  • Add garlic to the skillet, and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in chicken stock and lemon juice.
  • Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Stir in remaining 6 tablespoons butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, until melted and smooth.
  • Stir in gnocchi and shrimp, and gently toss to combine.
  • Serve immediately, garnished with parsley leaves, if desired.
