Skillet Gnocchi with Shrimp & Asparagus
The gnocchi cooks right in the skillet, along with shrimp, shallots, asparagus and Parmesan cheese, in this gnocchi recipe. Look for shelf-stable gnocchi near other pasta. Serve with baby arugula salad with vinaigrette and a glass of pinot grigio.
Ingredients
-
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
-
1 16-ounce package shelf-stable gnocchi
-
½ cup sliced shallots
-
1 bunch asparagus (about 1 pound), trimmed and cut into thirds
-
¾ cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
-
1 pound raw shrimp (26-30 per pound), peeled and deveined, tails left on if desired

¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper

Pinch of salt

Description
-
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add gnocchi and cook, stirring often, until plumped and golden in spots, 6 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
-
Add the remaining 2 teaspoons oil and shallots to the pan; cook over medium heat, stirring, until beginning to brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in asparagus and broth. Cover and cook until the asparagus is barely tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Add shrimp, pepper and salt; cover and simmer until the shrimp is pink and just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes more.
-
Return the gnocchi to the skillet along with lemon juice and cook, stirring, until heated through, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat, sprinkle with cheese, cover and let stand until the cheese is melted, about 2 minutes.
