cracked black pepper, grated parmesan cheese, fresh thyme or parsley , optional toppings
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.
