Method

Prepare Gnocchi

  1. 1

    Cook the Gnocchi

    In a large pot of salted boiling water, add the gnocchi. Cook according to package instructions until they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Cook Shrimp

  1. 2

    Sauté the Shrimp

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the shrimp and cook until they turn pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

Prepare Sauce

  1. 3

    Make the Sauce

    In the same skillet, add the halved cherry tomatoes and cook for about 5 minutes until they start to soften. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in the chopped basil, salt, and black pepper. Let it simmer for another 3 minutes.

Combine

  1. 4

    Mix Everything Together

    Add the cooked gnocchi and sautéed shrimp back into the skillet with the sauce. Toss gently to coat everything in the creamy sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.

  2. 5

    Serve

    Remove from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and well combined. Serve immediately, garnished with additional basil if desired.
