Pesto Shrimp Gnocchi

Gnocchi has its roots in Roman times. These little dumplings are a replacement for pasta or can be served as a side dish for some main courses. Choose your favourite sauce enjoy them any day of the week. My proposal is a buttery pesto sauce with butterfly king prawns. This simple recipe is ready in minutes and goes well with a glass of chilled white wine. It’s a go-to recipe when time is a challenge. Serve 4

Ingredients

500 gr fresh gnocchi

200 gr raw peeled king prawns

2 tbsp pesto

50 gr butter

2 cloves of garlic, chopped

50 ml white wine

15 gr grated parmesan

salt&pepper

Method

1. Cook gnocchi in a pan of boiling salted water for 2 minutes.

2. Meanwhile, run your knife down the back of 5-6 prawns, so they’ll butterfly as they cook, then finely chop the rest.

3. Put a large non-stick frying pan on medium heat.

4. Melt the butter, toss in the garlic and whole prawns to cook for 2 minutes, together with the wine.

5. Toss the chopped prawns and cook for another 2 minutes.

6. Mix in the pesto and transfer gnocchi into the pan.

7. Season with pepper and grated parmesan.

8. Enjoy! 💚
